Populate a DataSet object with multiple DataTable objects by changing the CommandText property of a DataAdapter object's SelectCommand

   


   
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;

class MultipleDataTables2 {
    public static void Main() {
        SqlConnection mySqlConnection = new SqlConnection("server=localhost;database=Northwind;uid=sa;pwd=sa");

        SqlCommand mySqlCommand = mySqlConnection.CreateCommand();
        mySqlCommand.CommandText = "SELECT TOP 2 ProductID, ProductName, UnitPrice FROM Products ORDER BY ProductID";
        SqlDataAdapter mySqlDataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter();
        mySqlDataAdapter.SelectCommand = mySqlCommand;
        DataSet myDataSet = new DataSet();
        mySqlConnection.Open();
        int numberOfRows = mySqlDataAdapter.Fill(myDataSet, "Products");
        Console.WriteLine("numberOfRows = " + numberOfRows);

        mySqlDataAdapter.SelectCommand.CommandText = "SELECT CustomerID, CompanyName FROM Customers WHERE CustomerID = 'ALFKI'";
        numberOfRows = mySqlDataAdapter.Fill(myDataSet, "Customers");
        Console.WriteLine("numberOfRows = " + numberOfRows);

        mySqlConnection.Close();

        foreach (DataTable myDataTable in myDataSet.Tables) {
            Console.WriteLine("
Reading from the " + myDataTable.TableName + " DataTable");
            foreach (DataRow myDataRow in myDataTable.Rows) {
                foreach (DataColumn myDataColumn in
                  myDataTable.Columns) {
                    Console.WriteLine(myDataColumn + " = " + myDataRow[myDataColumn]);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}


           
          


Read data from DataSet

   


using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;

class PopDataset
{
   static void Main()
   {
      string connString = "server=(local)SQLEXPRESS;database=MyDatabase;Integrated Security=SSPI";
      string sql = @"select * from employee";
      SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString);

      try
      {
         conn.Open();
         SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(sql, conn);
         DataSet ds = new DataSet();    
         da.Fill(ds, "employee");
         DataTable dt = ds.Tables["employee"];
         foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
         {
            foreach (DataColumn col in dt.Columns)
               Console.WriteLine(row[col]);
            Console.WriteLine("".PadLeft(20, '='));
         }
      }
      catch(Exception e)
      {
         Console.WriteLine("Error: " + e);
      }
      finally
      {
         conn.Close();
      }
   }  
}
