Hi all
In VFP we can do this
lnConnection = SQLSTRINGCONNECT(cConnectString) SQLEXEC(lnConnection,"Select * From cname") && puts results into SQLRESULT
I am wondering what is the nearest equivalent in .NET This is what I have come up with, but is there a better way?
SqlConnection sqlConnection1 = new SqlConnection(cConnectString); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(); SqlDataReader reader; cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM cname"; cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text; cmd.Connection = sqlConnection1; sqlConnection1.Open(); reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
Also how would I approach UPDATE and DELETE etc?
In .NET I would do Entity Framework. Below is how to stick EF into MVC and easily combine the two. If you are just starting with .NET this is one of the prefered ways of doing things today.
