Read Method (SQLiteDataReader)

In This Topic

Advances the SQLiteDataReader 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 SQLiteDataReader is prior to the first record. Therefore, you must call Read to begin accessing any data.

While the SQLiteDataReader is in use, the associated SQLiteConnection is busy serving it until you call Close.

Example

The following example creates a SQLiteConnection, a SQLiteCommand, and a SQLiteDataReader. The example reads through the data, writing it out to the console. Finally, the example closes the SQLiteDataReader, then the SQLiteConnection.

csharp

public void ReadMyData(string myConnString)
{
  string mySelectQuery = "SELECT DeptNo, DName FROM Dept";
  SQLiteConnection sqConnection = new SQLiteConnection(myConnString);
  SQLiteCommand sqCommand = new SQLiteCommand(mySelectQuery,sqConnection);
  sqConnection.Open();
  SQLiteDataReader sqReader;
  sqReader = sqCommand.ExecuteReader();
  // Always call Read before accessing data.
  while (sqReader.Read()) {
    Console.WriteLine(sqReader.GetInt32(0) + ", " + sqReader.GetString(1));
  }
  // always call Close when done reading.
  sqReader.Close();
  // Close the connection when done with it.
  sqConnection.Close();
}

Visual Basic

Public Sub ReadMyData(myConnString As String)
  Dim mySelectQuery As String = "SELECT DeptNo, DName FROM Dept"
  Dim sqConnection As New SQLiteConnection(myConnString)
  Dim sqCommand As New SQLiteCommand(mySelectQuery, sqConnection)
  sqConnection.Open()
  Dim sqReader As SQLiteDataReader
  sqReader = sqCommand.ExecuteReader()
  ' Always call Read before accessing data.
  While sqReader.Read()
    Console.WriteLine(sqReader.GetInt32(0).ToString() + ", " _
      + sqReader.GetString(1))
  End While
  ' always call Close when done reading.
  sqReader.Close()
  ' Close the connection when done with it.
  sqConnection.Close()
End Sub
