Database Access Using

ADO.NET

Lec. 1
Introduction to Programming using C# with Database

Dr. Yousif Albayati


Objectives

• Be introduced to technologies used for accessing databases

• Become familiar with the ADO.NET classes

• Write program statements that use the DataReader class to


retrieve database data

• Access and update databases using the DataSet and DataAdapter


classes

2
Databases
• Databases store information in records, fields, and tables
• Database management system (DBMS): computer programs used to
manage and query databases
• Example DBMSs include SQL server, Oracle, and Access
• Many DBMSs store data in tabular format
• Data in tables are related through common data field keys

3
Database Access
• Typically use a query language to program database access
• Structured query language (SQL)
• ActiveX Data Objects (ADO.NET): .NET data access technology for
accessing data in databases

4
ADO.NET
• Includes number of classes that can be used to retrieve, manipulate,
and update data in databases
• Can work with databases in a disconnect manner

• Database table(s) can be retrieved to a temporary


file
• To retrieve data first, you must connect to the database
• ADO.NET uses a feature called data providers to connect, execute
commands, and retrieve results from a database

5
Data Providers
• Microsoft SQL Server
• Applications using SQL Server 7.0 or later
• Oracle
• Applications using Oracle data sources
• Object Linking and Embedding Database (OLE DB)
• Applications that use Microsoft Access databases
• Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)
• Applications supported by earlier versions of Visual Studio, access driver
(.mdb) and Microsoft ODBC for Oracle

6
Data Providers (continued)
• Classes are encapsulated into a different namespace by provider
• Four core classes make up each data provider namespace
• Connection
• Command
• DataReader
• DataAdapter

/*We use listView tool to present the database table continent, by clicking on
the button.*/

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)


{
/*open the connection between Microsoft Visual Studio and Microsoft SQL Server*/

con.Open();

/*To bring the table continents(which is in the database) we use the (


SqlCommand) with the (select * from table name, and connection expression*/

SqlCommand code = new SqlCommand("select *from sudentinformation",


con);

/* SqlDataReader to read the table information.ExecuteReader to execute the


reading operation.*/

SqlDataReader r = code.ExecuteReader();
/*we use the while loop statement to keep (SqlDataReader) working (read) until to
finish all the column continents in the table.*/
while (r.Read())
{
ListViewItem add = new ListViewItem();
add.Text=r["studentname"].ToString();
add.SubItems.Add(r["studentage"].ToString());
add.SubItems.Add(r["studentdepartment"].ToString());

/*finally add the table items to the list view*/


listView1.Items.Add(add);

}
/*Close the connection between Microsoft Visual Studio and Microsoft SQL Server*/

con.Close();

To get the SQL connection string and create tables ,follow the steps
