Question

Do we have to use type in SQL query in ASP.NET MVC ?

I want to get a result that has no type defined before. Let’s say:

select TABLE1.X, TABLE2.Y from TABLE1,TABLE2

How can I get this query’s result? There are classes for TABLE1 and TABLE2, but none for result. Is it necessary that I construct an object that fit for the result?

Answer 1

If you use a DataReader you can use each field as you want.

DataTable dt;
using(SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader())
{
  dt = new DataTable();
  dt.Load(dr);
}

And you don’t have to create any object.
