SqlPipe.ExecuteAndSend(SqlCommand) Method

Definition

Executes the command passed as a parameter and sends the results to the client.

C#
public void ExecuteAndSend (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand command);

Parameters

command
SqlCommand

The SqlCommand object to be executed.

Exceptions

The command is null.

This method is not supported on commands bound to out-of-process connections.

Examples

The following example uses SqlConnection and SqlCommand to select rows from a data source in a stored procedure. The example then uses a SqlPipe to execute the command and send the results back to the client.

C#
[Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure()]
public static void StoredProcExecuteCommand(int rating)
{
    // Connect through the context connection.
    using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("context connection=true"))
    {
        connection.Open();

        SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(
            "SELECT VendorID, AccountNumber, Name FROM Purchasing.Vendor " +
            "WHERE CreditRating <= @rating", connection);
        command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@rating", rating);

        // Execute the command and send the results directly to the client.
        SqlContext.Pipe.ExecuteAndSend(command);
    }
}

Remarks

In addition to any actual results, other messages and errors are also sent directly to the client.

Output parameters and return values are not sent to the client; these are available to the caller, through the parameters collection of the command object.

If the command is not bound to an in-process connection, an InvalidOperationException is thrown. This method is not supported on commands bound to out-of-process connections.

If there are errors in the SqlCommand object that was submitted, exceptions are sent to the pipe, but a copy is also sent to calling managed code. If the calling code doesn't catch the exception, it will propagate up the stack to the Transact-SQL code and appear in the output twice. If the calling code does catch the exception, the pipe consumer will still see the error, but there will not be a duplicate error.
