I have a SQL Server 2008 database and I am working on it in the backend. I am working on asp.net/C#
SqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (rdr.Read())
{
//how do I read strings here????
}
I know that the reader has values. My SQL command is to select just 1 column from a table. The column contains strings ONLY. I want to read the strings (rows) in the reader one by one. How do I do this?
using(SqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{
while (rdr.Read())
{
var myString = rdr.GetString(0); //The 0 stands for "the 0'th column", so the first column of the result.
// Do somthing with this rows string, for example to put them in to a list
listDeclaredElsewhere.Add(myString);
}
}
