Read Method (SqlShimDataReader)

In This Topic

Advances the SqlShimDataReader to the next record.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overrides Function Read() As Boolean

public override bool Read()

Return Value

true if there are more rows; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The default position of the SqlShimDataReader is prior to the first record. Therefore, you must call Read to begin accessing any data.

While the SqlShimDataReader is in use, the associated Devart.Data.ExactTarget.ExactTargetConnection is busy serving it until you call Close.

Example

The following example creates a Devart.Data.ExactTarget.ExactTargetConnection, a Devart.Data.ExactTarget.ExactTargetCommand, and a SqlShimDataReader. The example reads through the data, writing it out to the console. Finally, the example closes the SqlShimDataReader, then the Devart.Data.ExactTarget.ExactTargetConnection.

csharp

public void ReadMyData(string myConnString)
{
  string mySelectQuery = "SELECT ID, Name FROM Email";
  ExactTargetConnection exactTargetConnection = new ExactTargetConnection(myConnString);
  ExactTargetCommand exactTargetCommand = new ExactTargetCommand(mySelectQuery,exactTargetConnection);
  exactTargetConnection.Open();
  ExactTargetDataReader exactTargetReader;
  exactTargetReader = exactTargetCommand.ExecuteReader();
  // Always call Read before accessing data.
  while (exactTargetReader.Read()) {
    Console.WriteLine(exactTargetReader.GetString(0) + ", " + exactTargetReader.GetString(1));
  }
  // always call Close when done reading.
  exactTargetReader.Close();
  // Close the connection when done with it.
  exactTargetConnection.Close();
}

Visual Basic

Public Sub ReadMyData(myConnString As String)
  Dim mySelectQuery As String = "SELECT ID, Name FROM Email"
  Dim exactTargetConnection As New ExactTargetConnection(myConnString)
  Dim exactTargetCommand As New ExactTargetCommand(mySelectQuery, exactTargetConnection)
  exactTargetConnection.Open()
  Dim exactTargetReader As ExactTargetDataReader
  exactTargetReader = exactTargetCommand.ExecuteReader()
  ' Always call Read before accessing data.
  While exactTargetReader.Read()
    Console.WriteLine(exactTargetReader.GetString(0) + ", " _
      + exactTargetReader.GetString(1))
  End While
  ' always call Close when done reading.
  exactTargetReader.Close()
  ' Close the connection when done with it.
  exactTargetConnection.Close()
End Sub
