Syntax

C#

public DbDataReader ExecutePageReader( 
   CommandBehavior behavior,
   int startRecord,
   int maxRecords
)

'Declaration
 
Public Function ExecutePageReader( _
   ByVal behavior As CommandBehavior, _
   ByVal startRecord As Integer, _
   ByVal maxRecords As Integer _
) As DbDataReader

Parameters

behavior: One of the System.Data.CommandBehavior values.
startRecord: Zero-based ordinal of row that result set starts with.
maxRecords: Quantity of rows in result set.

Return Value

A DbDataReaderBase object.

Remarks

Use method ExecutePageReader when you want to retrieve not the whole dataset but some part of it that begins with given row number and has certain quantity of rows. This is especially useful when working with large amounts of data.

If you want to retrieve all data in a dataset, use System.Data.Common.DbCommandBase.ExecuteReader() instead.

Example

The example below shows how to retrieve a part of a table. If this function is called with parameters startRecord=2 and maxRecords=3, it returns 3 rows: second, third, and fourth.

csharp

public void ExecutePaged(SalesforceConnection salesforceConnection, int StartRow, int PageLength)
{
  SalesforceCommand salesforceCommand = new SalesforceCommand("SELECT Id, Name, Type FROM Account", salesforceConnection);
  salesforceConnection.Open();
  SalesforceDataReader salesforceReader = salesforceCommand.ExecutePageReader(System.Data.CommandBehavior.Default,StartRow,PageLength);
  try
  {
    while (salesforceReader.Read())
    {
        Console.WriteLine(salesforceReader.GetString(0) + ", " + salesforceReader.GetString(1) + ", " + salesforceReader.GetString(2));
    }
  }
  finally
  {
    salesforceReader.Close();
    salesforceConnection.Close();
  }
}

Visual Basic

Public Sub ExecutePaged(ByVal salesforceConnection As SalesforceConnection, ByVal StartRow As Integer, ByVal PageLength As Integer)
  Dim salesforceCommand As New SalesforceCommand("SELECT Id, Name, Type FROM Account", salesforceConnection)
  salesforceConnection.Open()
  Dim salesforceReader As SalesforceDataReader = salesforceCommand.ExecutePageReader(System.Data.CommandBehavior.Default, StartRow, PageLength)
  Try
    While salesforceReader.Read()
      Console.WriteLine(salesforceReader.GetString(0) + ", " _
      + salesforceReader.GetString(1) + ", " _
      + salesforceReader.GetString(2))
    End While
  Finally
    salesforceReader.Close()
    salesforceConnection.Close()
  End Try
End Sub
