Question

I’m using SQL Server 2008 R2 and C# ASP.NET 4

I have this simplified table named myTable including the columns:
Col1, Col2, Col3, Col4

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[myTable](
    [Col1] [int] NULL,
    [Col2] [int] NULL,
    [Col3] [nvarchar](50) NULL,
    [Col4] [int] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
INSERT [dbo].[myTable] ([Col1], [Col2], [Col3], [Col4]) VALUES (0, 0, N'@', 0)
INSERT [dbo].[myTable] ([Col1], [Col2], [Col3], [Col4]) VALUES (1, 2, N'c', 4)
INSERT [dbo].[myTable] ([Col1], [Col2], [Col3], [Col4]) VALUES (11, 22, N'cc', 44)

(The original table is much wider)

How to SELECT two (or 20 or 200) column into C# variables or array/list of variables, or anything else which will be effective as or better than sometihng like that:

object obj = new object();
string sql = "SELECT Col2, Col3 FROM myTable WHERE Col1=0";
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(mySqlCalss.DatabaseConnectionString() ))
            {
                SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn);
                cmd.Connection.Open();
                obj = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
            }

in a way I could use something like:

int myVar1 = (int)ojb[0];
string myVar2 = (string)obj[1];

then:

lblMyASPlable1.Text = myVar1.ToString();
lblMyASPlable2.Text = myVar2;

?

Answer 1

You need SQLDataAdapter

DataTable table = new DataTable();
string sql = "SELECT Col2, Col3 FROM myTable WHERE Col1=0";
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(mySqlCalss.DatabaseConnectionString() ))
{
   SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn);
   cmd.Connection.Open();
   SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
   adapter.Fill(table);                
}

And

int myVar1;
string myVar2;
if(table.Rows.Count>0)
{
  myVar1 = (int)table.Rows[0]["Col2"];
  myVar2 = (string)table.Rows[0]["Col3"];
}
