Populating a listBox with sql query results - c#

Am trying to populate a listbox with values generated by a query, the code runs without any problems but the listbox is not displaying any results, what am i doing wrong, is there anything missing??
String sql = "SELECT * FROM products where code = "+textBox1.Text;
SqlDataAdapter dataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(sql, conn); //c.con is the connection string
using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn))
{
conn.Open();
using (SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{
if (reader.Read())
{
listBox1.Items.Add(reader["description"].ToString() + ": "+reader["price"].ToString());
listBox1.Refresh();
}
reader.Close();
conn.Close();
}
}

If your code column is of string type then
String sql = "SELECT * FROM products where code = '"+textBox1.Text + "'";
SqlDataAdapter dataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(sql, conn); //c.con is the connection string
using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn))
{
conn.Open();
using (SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{
while(reader.Read())
{
listBox1.Items.Add(reader["description"].ToString() + ": "+reader["price"].ToString());
}
reader.Close();
}
conn.Close();
}
Also to add all values, use while instead of if to traverse all the records in the reader. And also close the connection after the using statement.
I am sure the wrong sequence is causing the issue.

I'm making some assumptions here about your code, is 'code' a number? If not, did you try:
String sql = "SELECT * FROM products where code = '"+textBox1.Text+"'";
?

Display into textbox using if sentence

I'm displaying some data from the database into textboxes on my windows form and I have to add something else but it depends on the account type (that information is saved on my Databse). Meaning it is either DM (domestic) or CM(comercial). I want for it to charge an extra amount if it's CM.
I would appreciate any help, thank you.
OracleDataReader myReader = null;
OracleCommand myCommand = new OracleCommand("SELECT SUM(IMPORTE) AS corriente FROM MOVIMIENTOS WHERE CUENTA='"+txtIngreseCuenta3.Text + "'AND CONCEPTO=10", connectionString);
myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader();
while (myReader.Read())
{
txtCorriente.Text = (myReader["corriente"].ToString());
}
I'm using this code to display into the textbox but I want it to get the account type from another table and IF it's CM then add a certain amount into a textbox.
In your case I suggest that you use Execute Scalar instead of reader since you are returning only one value from the database. but in your case if you want this code to work you need to Cast the returned value into the correct dot net type and then populate the TextBox.
Example Using ExecuteReader
//txtCorriente.Text = ((int)myReader["corriente"]).ToString();
private static void CreateCommand(string queryString,
string connectionString)
{
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(
connectionString))
{
connection.Open();
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(queryString, connection);
SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();
while (reader.Read())
{
txtCorriente.Text = ((int)reader["corriente"]).ToString();
txtAnother.Text = ((decimal)reader["another"]).ToString();
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0}", reader[0]));
}
}
}
Example Using ExecuteScalar
static public int AddProductCategory(string newName, string connString)
{
Int32 newProdID = 0;
string sql =
"INSERT INTO Production.ProductCategory (Name) VALUES (#Name); "
+ "SELECT CAST(scope_identity() AS int)";
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString))
{
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn);
cmd.Parameters.Add("#Name", SqlDbType.VarChar);
cmd.Parameters["#name"].Value = newName;
try
{
conn.Open();
newProdID = (Int32)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
}
return (int)newProdID;
}

Problem with query string and extract values

I can't extract the values through a query and insert them into textboxes
Where am I going wrong?
Request.QueryString.Get("ID_Persona");
string query = "SELECT ID,Nome,Cognome,Email,CodiceFiscale FROM Persona WHERE ID = #id";
using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["dbConnection"].ConnectionString))
{
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, con);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#ID","");
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Nome", TextBox1.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Cognome", TextBox15.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Email", TextBox20.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#CodiceFiscale", TextBox22.Text);
con.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
You need to use ExecuteReader to read values, something like this:
var connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["dbConnection"].ConnectionString;
string query = "SELECT ID,Nome,Cognome,Email,CodiceFiscale FROM Persona WHERE ID = #id";
using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
using (var cmd = new SqlCommand(query, con))
{
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#ID", Request.QueryString.Get("ID_Persona"));
con.Open();
using (var rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{
if (rdr.Read())
{
//IDTextBox? = rdr["Id"].ToString(),
TextBox1.Text = rdr["Nome"].ToString(),
TextBox15.Text = rdr["Cognome"].ToString(),
TextBox20.Text= rdr["Email"].ToString(),
TextBox22.Text= rdr["CodiceFiscale"].ToString(),
}
}
}
}
You should use a ExecuteReader() instead of ExecuteNonQuery() since ExecuteNonQuery is meant for DML operations. Again, you need only the ID value to be passed then why you are passing unnecessary parameters to your query. Remove them all. An example below
SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (reader.Read())
{
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0}", reader["Email"]));
}
I can see several issues:
You should use ExecuteReader() instead of ExecuteNonQuery()
You should provide just 1 parameter - #ID; I doubt if it should have an empty value.
You should wrap IDisposable into using
Code:
string query =
#"SELECT ID,
Nome,
Cognome,
Email,
CodiceFiscale
FROM Persona
WHERE ID = #id";
using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(...))
{
con.Open();
using SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, con)
{
// I doubt if you want empty Id here.
// I've assumed you want to pass ID_Persona
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#ID", Request.QueryString.Get("ID_Persona"));
using (var reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{
if (reader.Read())
{
TextBox1.Text = Convert.ToString(reader["Nome"]);
TextBox15.Text = Convert.ToString(reader["Cognome"]);
TextBox20.Text = Convert.ToString(reader["Email"]);
TextBox22.Text = Convert.ToString(reader["CodiceFiscale"]);
}
}
}
}

C# SQL Server database queries

I have written the following code to query stuff from a SQL Server database. The query in the first reader works, but not in the second. I just can't seem to figure out why as the approach is exactly the same in both readers. Any help is much appreciated.
The parameters for the commands are given in the function above which isn't in the code btw.
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection())
{
conn.ConnectionString = "...";
conn.Open();
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("SELECT stuff FROM table WHERE Belegnummer= #n and Belegjahr=#j", conn);
command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("n", nr));
command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("j", jahr));
using (SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader())
{
while (reader.Read())
{
r = reader.GetInt32(0);
}
}
command.Dispose();
SqlCommand command2 = new SqlCommand("SELECT stuff1, stuff2, stuff3 FROM sameTable WHERE BelID = #rnr", conn);
command2.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("rnr", r));
using (SqlDataReader reader2 = command2.ExecuteReader())
{
while (reader2.Read())
{
// variables are defined somewhere above
b = reader2.GetInt32(0);
j = reader2.GetInt32(1);
m = reader2.GetInt32(2);
}
}
}
Please post the error messages as well.
You may run into trouble with DbNull values. Check for DbNull before you parse the values with:
SqlReader.IsDBNull(column)
Or load the Data into a DataTable:
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
using (SqlDataReader reader = cmd1.ExecuteReader())
{
dt.Load(reader);
}

"There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first."

I'm working on application which needs to connect to another database to get some data,
and to do that, I decided to use SqlConnection, reader etc..
And I need to execute few queries, for example first I need to get CARD ID for some user, after that I need to get some data by that CARD ID..
Here is my code:
#region Connection to another Database
SqlConnection sqlConnection1 = new SqlConnection("Data Source=ComputerOne; Initial Catalog=TestDatabase;Integrated Security=False; User ID=test; Password=test123;");
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
SqlDataReader reader;
cmd.CommandText = "Select * From Users Where CardID=" + "'" + user.CardID + "'";
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.Connection = sqlConnection1;
sqlConnection1.Open();
reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
string cardID = "";
string quantity="";
while (reader.Read())
{
cardID = reader["CardID"].ToString();
}
//HOW COULD I WRITE ANOTHER QUERY NOW, FOR EXAMPLE, OK I GOT CARDID NOW GIVE ME SOME OTHER THINGS FROM THAT DATABASE BY THAT cardID
//here I tried to change CommandText and to keep working with reader.. but its not working like this because its throwing me exception mention in question title.
cmd.CommandText = "Select T1.CardID, T2.Title, Sum(T1.Quantity) as Quantity From CardTransactions as T1 JOIN Adds as T2 ON T1.AddsID = T2.AddsID Where T1.CardID =" + cardID + "AND T1.Type = 1 Group By T1.CardID, T2.Title";
reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (reader.Read())
{
quantity = reader["Quantity"].ToString();
}
// Data is accessible through the DataReader object here.
sqlConnection1.Close();
#endregion
So guys how could I execute few queries statemens using this example.
Thanks a lot!
Cheers
Your problem is that you are not disposing the objects you are using. For that purpose is better to always use using structure, since it will guarantee you that everithing is gonna be disposed. Try the code below:
SqlConnection sqlConnection1 = new SqlConnection("Data Source=ComputerOne; Initial Catalog=TestDatabase;Integrated Security=False; User ID=test; Password=test123;");
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
SqlDataReader reader;
string cardID = "";
string quantity="";
using(sqlConnection1 = new SqlConnection("Data Source=ComputerOne; Initial Catalog=TestDatabase;Integrated Security=False; User ID=test; Password=test123;"))
{
sqlConnection1.Open();
using(cmd = new SqlCommand())
{
cmd.CommandText = "Select * From Users Where CardID=" + "'" + user.CardID + "'";
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.Connection = sqlConnection1;
using(reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{
while (reader.Read())
{
cardID = reader["CardID"].ToString();
}
} //reader gets disposed right here
} //cmd gets disposed right here
using(cmd = new SqlCommand())
{
cmd.CommandText = "Select T1.CardID, T2.Title, Sum(T1.Quantity) as Quantity From CardTransactions as T1 JOIN Adds as T2 ON T1.AddsID = T2.AddsID Where T1.CardID =" + cardID + "AND T1.Type = 1 Group By T1.CardID, T2.Title";
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.Connection = sqlConnection1;
using(reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{
while (reader.Read())
{
quantity = reader["Quantity"].ToString();
}
} //reader gets disposed right here
} //cmd gets disposed right here
sqlConnection1.Close();
} //sqlConnection1 gets disposed right here
The reader you opened is still active and open. And you can have just one active reader at a time. You should wrap all Sql... instances in a using to ensure they get closed properly.
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(...))
{
using (SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{
// the code using reader
}
}
well ... you receive the error because the used reader for the first call was not closed. You should always call the Close method when you have finished using the DataReader object insuring that the connection used by the reader is returned to the connection pool (the connection is in use exclusively by that DataReader). Partial code:
reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
try
{
while(myReader.Read())
{
while (reader.Read())
{
cardID = reader["CardID"].ToString();
}
}
finally
{
myReader.Close();
}
...
reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
try
{
while(myReader.Read())
{
reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (reader.Read())
{
quantity = reader["Quantity"].ToString();
}
}
}
finally
{
myReader.Close();
myConnection.Close();
}
Also... as a clean code rule, separate your calls in different methods (SOLID principles)

using the same instance of SQLCommand more than one time in the same code for more than one query?

I have question about using why i can not use the same instance of SQLCommand more than one time in the same code?
I tried the code down here and it runs good for the gridview but when i changed the query by using cmd.CommandText() method it keeps saying:
There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first.
This is the code:
string cs = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyDB"].ConnectionString;
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(cs);
try
{
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.Connection = con;
con.Open();
cmd.CommandText = "Select top 10 FirstName, LastName, Address, City, State from Customers";
GridView1.DataSource = cmd.ExecuteReader();
GridView1.DataBind();
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT TOP 10 COUNT(CreditLimit) FROM Customers";
int total = (int)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
TotalCreditLble.Text = "The total Credit :" + total.ToString();
}
catch(Exception exp)
{
Response.Write(exp.Message);
}
finally
{
con.Close();
}
The problem is that you are using the SqlCommand object to generate a DataReader via the command.ExecuteReader() command. While that is open, you can't re-use the command.
This should work:
using (var reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{
GridView1.DataSource = reader;
GridView1.DataBind();
}
//now the DataReader is closed/disposed and can re-use command
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT TOP 10 COUNT(CreditLimit) FROM Customers";
int total = (int)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
TotalCreditLble.Text = "The total Credit :" + total.ToString();
There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first.
This is the very reason you don't share a command. Somewhere in your code you did this:
cmd.ExecuteReader();
but you didn't leverage the using statement around the command because you wanted to share it. You can't do that. See, ExecuteReader leaves a connection to the server open while you read one row at a time; however that command is locked now because it's stateful at this point. The proper approach, always, is this:
using (SqlConnection c = new SqlConnection(cString))
{
using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, c))
{
// inside of here you can use ExecuteReader
using (SqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
{
// use the reader
}
}
}
These are unmanaged resources and need to be handled with care. That's why wrapping them with the using is imperative.
Do not share these objects. Build them, open them, use them, and dispose them.
By leveraging the using you will never have to worry about getting these objects closed and disposed.
Your code, written a little differently:
var cs = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyDB"].ConnectionString;
var gridSql = "Select top 10 FirstName, LastName, Address, City, State from Customers";
var cntSql = "SELECT TOP 10 COUNT(CreditLimit) FROM Customers";
using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(cs))
{
con.Open();
try
{
using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(gridSql, con))
{
GridView1.DataSource = cmd.ExecuteReader();
GridView1.DataBind();
}
using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(cntSql, con))
{
int total = (int)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
TotalCreditLble.Text = "The total Credit :" + total.ToString();
}
}
catch(Exception exp)
{
Response.Write(exp.Message);
}
}
Thank u quys but for the guys who where talking about using block !
why this code work fine which i seen it on example on a video ! It's the same thing using the same instance of SqlCommand and passing diffrent queries by using the method CommanText with the same instance of SqlCommand and it's execute just fine , this is the code :
using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(cs))
{
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.Connection = con;
con.Open();
cmd.CommandText = "Delete from tbleProduct where ProductID= 4";
int TotalRowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
Response.Write("Total rows affected :" + TotalRowsAffected );
cmd.CommandText = "Insert into tbleProduct values (4, 'Calculator', 100, 230)";
TotalRowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
Response.Write("Total rows affected :" + TotalRowsAffected );
cmd.CommandText = "ypdate tbleProduct set QtyAvailbe = 234 where ProductID = 2";
TotalRowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
Response.Write("Total rows affected :" + TotalRowsAffected );
}
