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(ZohoDeskConnection ZohoDeskConnection, int StartRow, int PageLength)
{
  ZohoDeskCommand ZohoDeskCommand = new ZohoDeskCommand("SELECT AccountID, \"Account Name\", Phone FROM Accounts", ZohoDeskConnection);
  ZohoDeskConnection.Open();
  ZohoDeskDataReader ZohoDeskReader = ZohoDeskCommand.ExecutePageReader(System.Data.CommandBehavior.Default,StartRow,PageLength);
  try
  {
    while (ZohoDeskReader.Read())
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ZohoDeskReader.GetString(0) + ", " + ZohoDeskReader.GetString(1) + ", " + ZohoDeskReader.GetString(2));
    }
  }
  finally
  {
    ZohoDeskReader.Close();
    ZohoDeskConnection.Close();
  }
}

Visual Basic

Public Sub ExecutePaged(ByVal ZohoDeskConnection As ZohoDeskConnection, ByVal StartRow As Integer, ByVal PageLength As Integer)
  Dim ZohoDeskCommand As New ZohoDeskCommand("SELECT AccountID, \"Account Name\", Phone FROM Accounts", ZohoDeskConnection)
  ZohoDeskConnection.Open()
  Dim ZohoDeskReader As ZohoDeskDataReader = ZohoDeskCommand.ExecutePageReader(System.Data.CommandBehavior.Default, StartRow, PageLength)
  Try
    While ZohoDeskReader.Read()
      Console.WriteLine(ZohoDeskReader.GetString(0) + ", " _
      + ZohoDeskReader.GetString(1) + ", " _
      + ZohoDeskReader.GetString(2))
    End While
