Examples

The following example creates a SqlConnection, a SqlCommand, and a SqlDataReader. The example reads through the data, writing it to the console. Finally, the example closes the SqlDataReader and then the SqlConnection as it exits the Using code blocks.

private static void ReadOrderData(string connectionString)
{
    string queryString =
        "SELECT OrderID, CustomerID FROM dbo.Orders;";
    using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(
               connectionString))
    {
        SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(
            queryString, connection);
        connection.Open();
        using(SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader())
        {
            while (reader.Read())
            {
                Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0}, {1}",
                    reader[0], reader[1]));
            }
        }
    }
}
Public Sub ReadOrderData(ByVal connectionString As String)
    Dim queryString As String = _
        "SELECT OrderID, CustomerID FROM dbo.Orders;"
    Using connection As New SqlConnection(connectionString)
        Dim command As New SqlCommand(queryString, connection)
        connection.Open()
        Dim reader As SqlDataReader = command.ExecuteReader()
        Try
            While reader.Read()
                Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0}, {1}", _
                    reader(0), reader(1)))
            End While
        Finally
            ' Always call Close when done reading.
            reader.Close()
        End Try
    End Using
End Sub

The following sample shows how to create and execute different types of SqlCommand objects.

First you must create the sample database, by executing the following script:

Remarks

When an instance of SqlCommand is created, the read/write properties are set to their initial values. For a list of these values, see the SqlCommand constructor.

SqlCommand features the following methods for executing commands at a SQL Server database:

Item Description
BeginExecuteNonQuery Initiates the asynchronous execution of the Transact-SQL statement or stored procedure that is described by this SqlCommand, generally executing commands such as INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE, and SET statements. Each call to BeginExecuteNonQuery must be paired with a call to EndExecuteNonQuery which finishes the operation, typically on a separate thread.
BeginExecuteReader Initiates the asynchronous execution of the Transact-SQL statement or stored procedure that is described by this SqlCommand and retrieves one or more results sets from the server. Each call to BeginExecuteReader must be paired with a call to EndExecuteReader which finishes the operation, typically on a separate thread.
BeginExecuteXmlReader Initiates the asynchronous execution of the Transact-SQL statement or stored procedure that is described by this SqlCommand. Each call to BeginExecuteXmlReader must be paired with a call to EndExecuteXmlReader, which finishes the operation, typically on a separate thread, and returns an XmlReader object.
ExecuteReader Executes commands that return rows. For increased performance, ExecuteReader invokes commands using the Transact-SQL sp_executesql system stored procedure. Therefore, ExecuteReader might not have the effect that you want if used to execute commands such as Transact-SQL SET statements.
ExecuteNonQuery Executes commands such as Transact-SQL INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE, and SET statements.
ExecuteScalar Retrieves a single value (for example, an aggregate value) from a database.
ExecuteXmlReader Sends the CommandText to the Connection and builds an XmlReader object.

You can reset the CommandText property and reuse the SqlCommand object. However, you must close the SqlDataReader before you can execute a new or previous command.

If a SqlException is generated by the method executing a SqlCommand, the SqlConnection remains open when the severity level is 19 or less. When the severity level is 20 or greater, the server ordinarily closes the SqlConnection. However, the user can reopen the connection and continue.

Note

Nameless, also called ordinal, parameters are not supported by the .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server.

BeginExecuteReader(AsyncCallback, Object)

Initiates the asynchronous execution of the Transact-SQL statement or stored procedure that is described by this SqlCommand and retrieves one or more result sets from the server, given a callback procedure and state information.

BeginExecuteReader(CommandBehavior)

Initiates the asynchronous execution of the Transact-SQL statement or stored procedure that is described by this SqlCommand using one of the CommandBehavior values.

BeginExecuteXmlReader()

Initiates the asynchronous execution of the Transact-SQL statement or stored procedure that is described by this SqlCommand and returns results as an XmlReader object.

BeginExecuteXmlReader(AsyncCallback, Object)

Initiates the asynchronous execution of the Transact-SQL statement or stored procedure that is described by this SqlCommand and returns results as an XmlReader object, using a callback procedure.

Cancel()

Tries to cancel the execution of a SqlCommand.

Clone()

Creates a new SqlCommand object that is a copy of the current instance.

CreateDbParameter()

Creates a new instance of a DbParameter object.

(Inherited from DbCommand)
CreateObjRef(Type)

Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object.

(Inherited from MarshalByRefObject)
CreateParameter()

Creates a new instance of a SqlParameter object.

Dispose()

Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources.

(Inherited from DbCommand)
Dispose()

Releases all resources used by the Component.

(Inherited from Component)
Dispose(Boolean)

Releases the unmanaged resources used by the DbCommand and optionally releases the managed resources.

(Inherited from DbCommand)
Dispose(Boolean)

Releases the unmanaged resources used by the Component and optionally releases the managed resources.

(Inherited from Component)
DisposeAsync()

Asynchronously diposes the command object.

(Inherited from DbCommand)
EndExecuteNonQuery(IAsyncResult)

Finishes asynchronous execution of a Transact-SQL statement.

EndExecuteReader(IAsyncResult)

Finishes asynchronous execution of a Transact-SQL statement, returning the requested SqlDataReader.

EndExecuteXmlReader(IAsyncResult)

Finishes asynchronous execution of a Transact-SQL statement, returning the requested data as XML.

Equals(Object)

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

(Inherited from Object)
ExecuteDbDataReader(CommandBehavior)

Executes the command against its connection, returning a DbDataReader which can be used to access the results.

(Inherited from DbCommand)
ExecuteDbDataReaderAsync(CommandBehavior, CancellationToken)

Providers should implement this method to provide a non-default implementation for ExecuteReader overloads.

The default implementation invokes the synchronous ExecuteReader() method and returns a completed task, blocking the calling thread. The default implementation will return a cancelled task if passed an already cancelled cancellation token. Exceptions thrown by ExecuteReader will be communicated via the returned Task Exception property.

This method accepts a cancellation token that can be used to request the operation to be cancelled early. Implementations may ignore this request.

(Inherited from DbCommand)
ExecuteNonQuery()

Executes a Transact-SQL statement against the connection and returns the number of rows affected.

ExecuteNonQueryAsync()

An asynchronous version of ExecuteNonQuery(), which executes the command against its connection object, returning the number of rows affected.

Invokes ExecuteNonQueryAsync(CancellationToken) with CancellationToken.None.

(Inherited from DbCommand)
ExecuteNonQueryAsync(CancellationToken)

An asynchronous version of ExecuteNonQuery(), which executes a Transact-SQL statement against the connection and returns the number of rows affected. The cancellation token can be used to request that the operation be abandoned before the command timeout elapses. Exceptions will be reported via the returned Task object.

ExecuteNonQueryAsync(CancellationToken)

This is the asynchronous version of ExecuteNonQuery(). Providers should override with an appropriate implementation. The cancellation token may optionally be ignored.

The default implementation invokes the synchronous ExecuteNonQuery() method and returns a completed task, blocking the calling thread. The default implementation will return a cancelled task if passed an already cancelled cancellation token. Exceptions thrown by ExecuteNonQuery() will be communicated via the returned Task Exception property.

Do not invoke other methods and properties of the DbCommand object until the returned Task is complete.
