Example

In This Topic
    SelectCommand Property (SqlDataAdapter)
    In This Topic
    Gets or sets a SQL Server statement used to select records in the data source.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
     
    Public Shadows Property SelectCommand As SqlCommand
    public new SqlCommand SelectCommand {get; set;}

    Property Value

    A SqlCommand that is used during a fill operation to select records from the data source for placement in the System.Data.DataSet.
    Remarks
    When SelectCommand is assigned to a previously created SqlCommand, the SqlCommand is not cloned. Instead, the SelectCommand maintains a reference to the previously created SqlCommand object.

    If SelectCommand does not return any rows, no tables are added to the System.Data.DataSet, and no exception is raised.

    This property supports the InterForm technology.

    Example
    The following example creates a SqlDataAdapter, sets some of its properties, retrieves data from a table, and displays it.
    public void CreateDataAdapter(SqlConnection myConnection)
    {
      SqlDataAdapter myAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter();
      myAdapter.MissingSchemaAction = MissingSchemaAction.AddWithKey;
      DataSet myDataSet = new DataSet();
      myAdapter.SelectCommand = new SqlCommand("SELECT DeptNo, DName FROM Test.Dept", myConnection);
      myAdapter.Fill(myDataSet,"Dept");
      //Get all data from all tables within the dataset
      foreach(DataTable myTable in myDataSet.Tables)
      {
        foreach(DataRow myRow in myTable.Rows)
        {
          foreach (DataColumn myColumn in myTable.Columns)
          {
            Console.Write(myRow[myColumn]+"\t");
          }
          Console.WriteLine();
        }
        Console.WriteLine();
      }
    }
    Public Sub CreateDataAdapter(ByVal myConnection As SqlConnection)
      Dim myAdapter As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter
      myAdapter.MissingSchemaAction = MissingSchemaAction.AddWithKey
      Dim myDataSet As DataSet = New DataSet
      myAdapter.SelectCommand = New SqlCommand("SELECT DeptNo, DName FROM Test.Dept", myConnection)
      myAdapter.Fill(myDataSet, "Dept")
      Dim myTable As DataTable
      Dim myRow As DataRow
      Dim myColumn As DataColumn
      ' Get all data from all tables within the dataset
      For Each myTable In myDataSet.Tables
        For Each myRow In myTable.Rows
          For Each myColumn In myTable.Columns
            Console.Write(myRow(myColumn) & Chr(9))
          Next myColumn
          Console.WriteLine()
        Next myRow
        Console.WriteLine()
      Next myTable
    End Sub
