I am trying to run a test query using sql. I know it is a simple concept, but i have tried everything I could find online and the following does not even run. It shows no errors but it does not run.
private static SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("<connection string>");
public static void connect()
{
conn.Open();
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("spTester 'this is tested'", conn);
command.ExecuteScalar();
conn.Close();
}
It seems that you want something like that:
private static void connect() {
// static SqlConnection conn is a bad idea, local variable is much better
// Do not forget to dispose IDisposable: using(...) {...}
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("<connection string>")) {
// Do not forget to dispose IDisposable: using(...) {...}
using (SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("spTester", conn)) {
// You're executing procedure, not ordinal SQL
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
// It seems, that you should provide a parameter to your procedure:
//TODO: Change "@ParameterName" to actual one
command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@ParameterName", "this is tested"));
// You don't need any result value be returned
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
}
}
public static void connect()
{
conn.Open();
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("spTester 'this is tested'", conn);
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
conn.Close();
}
try doing this..
as u probably forgot to mention command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; line
using System.Data.SqlClient;?this is a simple example it will let you get started using SQLCOMMAND
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString))
{
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM whatever
WHERE id = 5", conn);
try
{
conn.Open();
newID = (int)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
}
Try this :
public static void connect()
{
conn.Open();
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("spTester", conn);
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
command.AddWithValue("@Parameter1","this is tested")
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
conn.Close();
}
