command.CommandText = "SELECT UserName from Users WHERE UserID = " = userID
Executing this command returns one table with one column with one row. What is the syntax for getting that value into a variable? I can get the information into a dataSet but I can't get it out. Should I be using a dataSet for this operation?
The rest of the code so far:
SqlDataAdapter dataAdapter =newSqlDataAdapter();
dataAdapter.SelectCommand = command;
dataAdapter.TableMappings.Add("Table","Users");
dataSet =newDataSet();
dataAdapter.Fill(dataSet);
Using that code, your data would be in dataSet.tables[0].rows[0][0].
If that's always just returning one value, you might want to look into using ExecuteScalar instead of the adapter and dataset.
You can just use executeScalar method of SQl command below is example from VB.Net help for scalar modified a little:
Public Function AddProductCategory( _ ByVal UserID As Integer, ByVal connString As String) As Integer Dim Username As string = "" Dim sql As String = "SELECT UserName from Users WHERE UserID = @.USERID" Using conn As New SqlConnection(connString) Dim cmd As New SqlCommand(sql, conn) cmd.Parameters.Add("@.USERID", SqlDbType.Int) cmd.Parameters("@.USERID").Value = newName Try conn.Open() userName = Convert.ToInt32(cmd.ExecuteScalar()) Catch ex As Exception Console.WriteLine(ex.Message) End Try End Using Return newProdIDEnd FunctionThanks|||
Got it working ... thank you for your help!
