Question

I’m not sure if I need to create a whole new class or what, I am very new to asp.net.

Here is my code:

public static IEnumerable<DistInfo> GetGeneralInformation ( int ClientID )
{
    using ( var conn = new SqlConnection( GetConnectionString() ) )
    using ( var cmd = conn.CreateCommand() )
    {
        conn.Open();
        cmd.CommandText =
        @"SELECT i.GoLiveDate, i.FirstBonusRun, i.TechFName, i.TechLName, i.TechEmail, i.TechPhone, i.WebISPFName, i.WebISPLName, 
          i.WebISPEmail, i.WebISPPhone, i.FullFillFName, i.FullFillLName, i.FullFillEmail, i.FullFillPhone, d.FName,
          d.LName, d.HomePhone, d.Email
          FROM NC_Information i
          INNER JOIN Distributor d
            ON d.DistID = i.ClientID
          WHERE clientID = @value";
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue( "@value", ClientID );
        using ( var reader = cmd.ExecuteReader() )
        {
            while ( reader.Read() )
            {
                var distInfo = new DistInfo
                {
                    AnticipatedLaunchDate = reader.GetDateTime( reader.GetOrdinal( "GoLiveDate" ) )
                };
                yield return distInfo;
            }
        }
    }
}

gives the are you missing an assemblyt or reference. Does this mean i need to create a DistInfo class to make this work?

new DistInfo gives the same error as above.

Sorry I am very new to asp.net and don’t quite understand how to make mine work like in this post:

I keep getting this error: "Invalid attempt to call Read when reader is closed"

Answer 1

Do you actually have a class called DistInfo? Does the code compile? If not, you’ll need to add a new DistInfo class that has at least a DateTime. Something like:

public class DistInfo
{
    public DateTime AnticipatedLaunchDate { get; set; }
}

You can add more properties in there if you need to 🙂
