ADO.NET Objects .NET Applications Data Set Data Reader Command Object Connection Object Managed Data Provider (OLEDB) Database
Connection with a Connection Object • A connection object represents a unique session with a data source. • Connection string: database, OLE DB provider, password, if any, security, etc. • Use the Open/Close method to open/close a connection. • Manage transaction: BeginTransaction(), Commit, rollBack.
Connection String • Containing information about database, OLE DB provider, password, if any, security, etc. • For Jet database: • Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Persist Security info = False;Data Source=c:\ …\Nwind.mdb
Data Link Properties (Under the Advanced Tab of the Connection Dialog Window) • Access permissions • Read—Read only. • ReadWrite—Read and write. • Share Deny None—Neither read nor write access can be denied to others. • Share Deny Read—Prevents others from opening in read mode. • Share Deny Write—Prevents others from opening in write mode. • Share Exclusive—Prevents others from opening in read/write mode. • Write—Write only.
Providers • MSDASQL • Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC • Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.3.51 • Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 • MSDAORA – For Oracle • SQLOLEDB – Microsoft SQL Server
Connection Object • Example: • dim strConn as string ="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = c:\sales2k.mdb" • dim objConn as new OledbConnection(strConn) • objConn.open() • Basic Methods: • Open, Close • BeginTransaction
Command Object • The command object allows us to execute a SQL statement. • Properties: • CommandType: SQL or stored procedure • CommandText: SQL statement • Connection • Basic Methods: • ExecuteReader: Creates a DataReader object that contains the results of the query. • ExecuteNonQuery: Execute SQL’s INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE statements.
ExecuteReader Example dim strConn as string ="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = c:\sales2k.mdb" dim objConn as new OledbConnection(strConn) dim strSQL as string = "select * from customer;" dim objComm as new OledbCommand(strSQL,objConn) dim Results as string objConn.open() dim objDataReader as oledbDataReader objDataReader=objComm.executeReader()
Import NameSpace • The Imports statement must appear before all other declarations in a file and cannot appear inside a class or module declaration. • Imports System.Data.OleDb • Public Class Form1
DataReader Object • It is read-only and forward-only cursor. • Basic Methods: • Read: Reads the current record and advances the pointer to the next record. • Close: Closes the dataReader.
Read Records in a DataReader • dim Results as string • do while objDataReader.Read()=true Results+=objDataReader("cid") + “ “ + objDataReader("Cname") + vbCrLF • loop • Textbox1.text=Results • Note: objDataReader.Item(0) • Note: objDataReader.Item(“cid”)
Add Items from a DataReader to a Listbox Dim strConn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = c:\sales2k.mdb" Dim objConn As New OleDbConnection(strConn) Dim strSQL As String = "select cname from customer;" Dim objComm As New OleDbCommand(strSQL, objConn) objConn.Open() Dim objDataReader As OleDbDataReader objDataReader = objComm.ExecuteReader() Do While objDataReader.Read() = True LISTBOX1.Items.Add(objDataReader("cname")) Loop Note: 1. Listbox is not bound. 2. SelectedItem
To Reuse a DataReader • objDataReader.Close() • objDataReader = objComm.ExecuteReader()
Error Handling Try objConn.Open() Dim objDataReader As OleDbDataReader objDataReader = objComm.ExecuteReader() Do While objDataReader.Read() = True Results += objDataReader("cid") + " " + objDataReader("Cname") + vbCrLf Loop TextBox1.Text = Results objConn.Close() Catch except As System.Exception MessageBox.Show(except.Message) End Try
Possible Database Errors • SQL syntax errors • Database connection not open • Violate database constraints • Referential integrity • Field data type and length • Primary key constraint
ExecuteNonQuery Example dim strSQLUpd as string="Update customer set rating = ‘A’” strSQLUpd=strSQLUpd & " where cname='" & CnameList.selectedItem.text & "'“ Dim objCommUpd As New OleDbCommand(strSQLUpd, objConn) objCommUpd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Demo • Create a project that do the following tasks: • Use a DataReader to retrieve customer IDs and populate a listbox. • Select a new rating from radio buttons for the selected customer. • Update customer’s rating using the ExecuteNonQuery method of a Command object.
Declare OleDB objects and create listbox Imports System.Data.OleDb Public Class Form3 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form Dim strConn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = c:\sales2k.mdb" Dim objConn As New OleDbConnection(strConn) Dim strSQL As String = "select cid from customer;" Dim objComm As New OleDbCommand(strSQL, objConn) Private Sub Form3_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load objConn.Open() Dim objDataReader As OleDbDataReader objDataReader = objComm.ExecuteReader() Do While objDataReader.Read() = True ListBox1.Items.Add(objDataReader("cid")) Loop objConn.Close() End Sub
Update customer rating Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click objConn.Open() Dim newRating As String If RadioButton1.Checked = True Then newRating = "A" ElseIf RadioButton2.Checked Then newRating = "B" Else newRating = "C" End If Dim strSQLUpd As String = "Update customer set rating = '" & newRating & "'" strSQLUpd = strSQLUpd & " where cid='" & ListBox1.SelectedItem & "'" Dim objCommUpd As New OleDbCommand(strSQLUpd, objConn) objCommUpd.ExecuteNonQuery() objConn.Close() End Sub
Use Command Object’s ExecuteNonQuery to Insert A New Record • Create unbound text boxes to enter new record. • Add an Insert button with the following handler Dim strSQLInsert As String strSQLInsert = "Insert into Customer values ('" strSQLInsert = strSQLInsert & TextBox1.Text & "','" & TextBox2.Text & "','" strSQLInsert = strSQLInsert & TextBox3.Text & "','" & TextBox4.Text & "')" Dim objCommInsert As New OleDbCommand(strSQLInsert, objConn) objCommInsert.ExecuteNonQuery()
DataSet Object • A DataSet object can hold several tables and relationships between tables. • A DataSet is a set of disconnedted data. Data is extracted from the database and stored in the DataSet object. Updates to the DataSet must copy back to the database to make the changes permanent.
DataSet and Related Objects • DataSet: Can contain multiple tables and relationships. • DataTable object: Represents a table in the dataset. • DataAdapter: This the object used to pass data between the database and the dataset. The Fill method copies the data into the dataset, and the Update method copies the updates back into the database. • DataView: This represents a specific view of the DataTables held in the dataset.
DataSet and Related Objects DataView DataSet DataTable DataTable Command DataAdapter Connection
Structure of a Dataset Dataset Tables Data table Rows Data Row Columns Data Column Constraints Relations Constraint Data Relation
Reading Data into a Table • dim strConn as string ="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = c:\sales2k.mdb" • dim objConn as new OledbConnection(strConn) • dim strSQL as string = "select * from customer;" • dim objDataSet as new Dataset() • dim objAdapter as new OledbDataAdapter(strSQL, objConn) • objAdapter.Fill(objDataSet, "Cust")
Binding a Table in a Dataset to a DataGrid Imports System.Data.OleDb Public Class Form4 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form Dim strConn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = c:\sales2k.mdb" Dim objConn As New OleDbConnection(strConn) Dim objDataSet As New DataSet() Private Sub Form4_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim strSQL As String = "select * from customer;" Dim objAdapter As New OleDbDataAdapter(strSQL, objConn) objAdapter.Fill(objDataSet, "Cust") DataGrid1.DataSource = objDataSet DataGrid1.DataMember = "Cust" End Sub
DataView Object • The DataView object exposes a complete table or a subset of the records from a table. • Table’s DefaultView property: • Dim ObjDataView As New DataView() • ObjDataView.Table = objDataSet.Tables("Cust") • Or: ObjDataView = objDataSet.Tables("Cust").DefaultView • DataView can be used as a DataSource in data binding.
Data Binding with DataView Object Dim strConn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = c:\sales2k.mdb" Dim objConn As New OleDbConnection(strConn) Dim objDataSet As New DataSet() Dim strSQL As String = "select * from customer;" Dim objAdapter As New OleDbDataAdapter(strSQL, objConn) objAdapter.Fill(objDataSet, "Cust") Dim ObjDataView As New DataView() ObjDataView = objDataSet.Tables("Cust").DefaultView DataGrid1.DataSource = ObjDataView
Accessing Records in DataView Using DataView and DataRowView object’s Item property: objdataView = objDataSet.Tables("customer").DefaultView TextBox1.Text = objdataView.Item(rowIndex).Item(0) TextBox2.Text = objdataView.Item(rowIndex).Item(1) Move to the next record: rowIndex += 1 TextBox1.Text = objdataView.Item(rowIndex).Item(0) TextBox2.Text = objdataView.Item(rowIndex).Item(1)
Selecting a Subset of Records with DataView’s RowFilter Property • objDataView.RowFilter = criteria
DataView Example Dim ObjDataView As New DataView() Dim newRating As String If RadioButton1.Checked = True Then newRating = "A" ElseIf RadioButton2.Checked Then newRating = "B" Else newRating = "C" End If ObjDataView.Table = objDataSet.Tables("Cust") ObjDataView.RowFilter = "rating='" & newRating & "'" DataGrid1.Visible = True DataGrid1.DataSource = ObjDataView
Defining an Adapter without A Command Object • dim strConn as string ="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = c:\sales2k.mdb" • dim objConn as new OledbConnection(strConn) • dim strSQL as string = "select * from customer;" • dim objDataSet as new Dataset() • dim objAdapter as new OledbDataAdapter(strSQL, objConn) • objAdapter.Fill(objDataSet, "Cust")
Defining an Adapter with A Command Object • dim strSQLCust as string = "select * from customer;" • dim objComm as new OledbCommand() • dim objAdapter as new OledbDataAdapter() • dim objDataSet as new Dataset() • objComm.Connection=objConn • objComm.CommandType=COmmandType.Text • objComm.CommandText=strSQLCust • objAdapter.SelectCommand=objComm • objConn.open() • objAdapter.Fill(objDataSet, "Customer") • Note:Adapter has SelectCommand, InsertCommand, DeleteCommand, UpdateCommand properties (Check Object Browser).
Creating Multiple Tables in A DataSet • dim strSQLCust as string = "select * from customer;" • dim strSQLOrder as string ="select * from orders;" • dim objComm as new OledbCommand() • dim objAdapter as new OledbDataAdapter() • dim objDataSet as new Dataset() • objComm.Connection=objConn • objComm.CommandType=COmmandType.Text • objComm.CommandText=strSQLCust • objAdapter.SelectCommand=objComm • objConn.open() • objAdapter.Fill(objDataSet, "Customer") • objComm.COmmandText=strSQLOrder • objAdapter.Fill(objDataSet, "Orders")
Binding Multiple Tables to a DataGrid (Example 1) DataGrid1.DataSource = objDataSet
Binding Multiple Tables to a DataGrid (Example 2) Dim ObjDataView As New DataView() Dim TableName As String If RadioButton1.Checked = True Then ObjDataView = objDataSet.Tables("Customer").DefaultView Else ObjDataView = objDataSet.Tables("Orders").DefaultView End If DataGrid1.DataSource = ObjDataView
Adding Relationship to a Dataset • The Dataset object has a Relations property. It is a collection of DataRelations. We can use a relationship to enforce the referential integrity. • To define a DataRelation: • DataRelObj=DataRelation(RelationName, ParentTable Field, ChildTableField) • Dim objRel As DataRelation • objRel = New DataRelation("custOrder", objDataset.tables("customer").columns("cid"), objDataset.tables("orders").columns("cid")) • Adding a relation to the dataset: • objDataSet.Relations.Add(objRel)
Creating a Hierarchical DataGrid Dim objRel As DataRelation objRel = New DataRelation("custOrder", objDataSet.Tables("customer").Columns("cid"), objDataSet.Tables("orders").Columns("cid")) objDataSet.Relations.Add(objRel) DataGrid1.DataSource = objDataSet.Tables("customer")
DataTable’s Rows Property • This is a collection of all the records in a table, a collection of DataRow objects. • DataRow object’s properties and methods.
Accessing a Record with Index objAdapter.Fill(objDataSet, "Customer") TextBox1.Text = objDataSet.Tables("Customer").Rows(rowIndex).Item(0) TextBox2.Text = objDataSet.Tables("Customer").Rows(rowIndex).Item(1)
Access Rows in a DataRow Collection • dim objTable as DataTable = objDataset.Tables("Customer") • dim objRow as DataRow • For each objRow in objTable.Rows • strResult=strResult+“ " & objRow("cid") & " " & objRow("cname") & vbCrLf • Next
DataRow object’s GetChildRows Method • Returns a collection of rows from another table that are related as child rows to this row.
Displaying Parent/Child Records in a Relation • Define the relation. • Specify the relation in the GetChildRows method of the DataRow object.
Imports System.Data.OleDb Public Class Form1 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form Dim strConn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = c:\sales2k.mdb" Dim objConn As New OledbConnection(strConn) Dim strSQLCust As String = "select * from customer;" Dim strSQLOrder As String = "select * from orders;" Dim objComm As New OledbCommand() Dim objAdapter As New OledbDataAdapter() Dim objDataSet As New DataSet() Dim objRel As DataRelation Dim strResult As String Dim rowIndex As Integer = 0 Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load objComm.Connection = objConn objComm.CommandType = CommandType.Text objComm.CommandText = strSQLCust objAdapter.SelectCommand = objComm objConn.Open() objAdapter.Fill(objDataSet, "Customer") objComm.CommandText = strSQLOrder objAdapter.Fill(objDataSet, "Orders") objRel = New DataRelation("custOrder", objDataSet.Tables("Customer").Columns("cid"), objDataSet.Tables("Orders").Columns("cid")) objDataSet.Relations.Add(objRel) Call showChild(rowIndex) End Sub
Private Sub showChild(ByVal RowIndex) TextBox1.Text = objDataSet.Tables("customer").Rows(RowIndex).Item("cid") TextBox1.Text = objDataSet.Tables("customer").Rows(RowIndex).Item("cname") Dim objOrderRel As DataRelation = objDataSet.Tables("customer").ChildRelations("custOrder") Dim strResult As String Dim objChildRow As DataRow For Each objChildRow In objDataSet.Tables("customer").Rows(RowIndex).GetChildRows(objOrderRel) strResult = strResult + objChildRow("oid") + " " + objChildRow("odate") + vbCrLf Next TextBox3.Text = strResult End Sub ****Note****: How to prevent EOF error? Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click rowIndex += 1 Call showChild(rowIndex) End Sub
Display Child Records in Grid • This technique uses the fact that the DataView of a table can be used as a DataSource in binding a data grid. • Assuming a Customer/Orders relationship, for each customer record: • Use Table object’s Clone method to create a temporary child table structure. • Use Table object’s ImportRow method to import child records to the clone table. • Use the clone table’s DefaultView to bind the DataGrid.
Dim objRow As DataRow Dim drFound As DataRow drFound = objDataSet.Tables("Customer").Rows("0") TextBox1.Text = drFound.Item("cid") TextBox2.Text = drFound.Item("cname") Dim childTable As DataTable childTable = objDataSet.Tables("orders").Clone For Each objRow In drFound.GetChildRows(objOrderRel) childTable.ImportRow(objRow) Next DataGrid1.DataSource = childTable.DefaultView
Creating Parameter Queries • 1. Specify the parameters in the SQL statement. • Dim strSQLOrder As String = "select * from orders where cid= ?;" • 2. Add the parameters to the Command Object’s Parameters collection. • objComm.Parameters.Add("?cid", OleDbType.VarChar) • 3. Set parameter’s value. • objAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters("?cid").Value = "1"
Parameter Query Example Dim strConn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = c:\sales2k.mdb" Dim objConn As New OleDbConnection(strConn) objConn.Open() Dim strSQLOrder As String = "select * from orders where cid= ?;" Dim objComm As New OleDbCommand() Dim objAdapter As New OleDbDataAdapter() Dim objDataSet As New DataSet() objComm.Connection = objConn objComm.CommandType = CommandType.Text objComm.CommandText = strSQLOrder objComm.Parameters.Add("?cid", OleDbType.VarChar) objAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters("?cid").Value = "1" objAdapter.Fill(objDataSet, "Orders") DataGrid1.DataSource = objDataSet DataGrid1.DataMember = "orders"
