SqlCeResultSet Class

An updateable, scrollable, and bindable cursor.

Namespace: System.Data.SqlServerCe
Assembly: System.Data.SqlServerCe (in system.data.sqlserverce.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Class SqlCeResultSet
    Inherits SqlCeDataReader
    Implements IEnumerable, IListSource
'Usage
Dim instance As SqlCeResultSet

public class SqlCeResultSet : SqlCeDataReader, IEnumerable, IListSource

public ref class SqlCeResultSet : public SqlCeDataReader, IEnumerable, IListSource

public class SqlCeResultSet extends SqlCeDataReader implements IEnumerable, IListSource

public class SqlCeResultSet extends SqlCeDataReader implements IEnumerable, IListSource

Not applicable.

Remarks

In earlier versions of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition (formerly SQL Server CE), to bind controls to data, you had to use a DataSet. While a SqlCeDataReader provides better performance than a DataSet, it is a forward-only, non-updateable cursor. In SQL Server Compact Edition, the SqlCeResultSet provides a combination of functionality: the updateability and scrollability of the DataSet plus performance similar to a SqlCeDataReader.

To create a SqlCeResultSet, you must call the ExecuteResultSet method rather than using the object's constructor.

The ResultSetOptions let you specify the scrollabilty, updatability, and sensitivity (which determines if the SqlCeResultSet sees changes made by itself or others) of the SqlCeResultSet.

Example

In the following example, a new Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition database is created. A SqlCeResultSet is then initialized to populate the dataset with data.

Dim conn As SqlCeConnection = Nothing

Try
    File.Delete("Test.sdf")

    Dim engine As New SqlCeEngine("Data Source = Test.sdf")
    engine.CreateDatabase()

    conn = New SqlCeConnection("Data Source = Test.sdf")
    conn.Open()

    Dim cmd As SqlCeCommand = conn.CreateCommand()
    cmd.CommandText = "CREATE TABLE myTable (col1 INT, col2 MONEY, col3 NVARCHAR(200))"
    cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

    cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM myTable"

    Dim rs As SqlCeResultSet = cmd.ExecuteResultSet(ResultSetOptions.Updatable Or ResultSetOptions.Scrollable)

    Dim rec As SqlCeUpdatableRecord = rs.CreateRecord()

    rec.SetInt32(0, 34)
    rec.SetDecimal(1, System.Convert.ToDecimal(44.66))
    rec.SetString(2, "Sample text")

    rs.Insert(rec)
Catch e As Exception
    MessageBox.Show(e.Message)
Finally
    conn.Close()
End Try

SqlCeConnection conn = null;

try
{
    File.Delete("Test.sdf");

    SqlCeEngine engine = new SqlCeEngine("Data Source = Test.sdf");
    engine.CreateDatabase();

    conn = new SqlCeConnection("Data Source = Test.sdf");
    conn.Open();

    SqlCeCommand cmd = conn.CreateCommand();
    cmd.CommandText = "CREATE TABLE myTable (col1 INT, col2 MONEY, col3 NVARCHAR(200))";
    cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

    cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM myTable";

    SqlCeResultSet rs = cmd.ExecuteResultSet(ResultSetOptions.Updatable | 
        ResultSetOptions.Scrollable);

    SqlCeUpdatableRecord rec = rs.CreateRecord();

    rec.SetInt32(0, 34);
    rec.SetDecimal(1, (decimal)44.66);
    rec.SetString(2, "Sample text");

    rs.Insert(rec);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    MessageBox.Show(e.Message);
}
finally
{
    conn.Close();
}
