Examples

The following example creates an OleDbConnection, an OleDbCommand, and an OleDbDataReader. The example reads through the data, writing it out to the console. Finally, the example closes the OleDbDataReader and then the OleDbConnection.

public static void ReadData(string connectionString, string queryString)
{
    using (OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection(connectionString))
    {
        OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand(queryString, connection);

        connection.Open();
        OleDbDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();

        while (reader.Read())
        {
            Console.WriteLine(reader[0].ToString());
        }
        reader.Close();
    }
}
Public Sub ReadData(ByVal connectionString As String, _
    ByVal queryString As String)
    Using connection As New OleDbConnection(connectionString)
        Dim command As New OleDbCommand(queryString, connection)

        connection.Open()

        Dim reader As OleDbDataReader = command.ExecuteReader()
        While reader.Read()
            Console.WriteLine(reader(0).ToString())
        End While
        reader.Close()
    End Using
End Sub

Remarks

To create an OleDbDataReader, you must call the ExecuteReader method of the OleDbCommand object, instead of directly using a constructor.

Before you close the OleDbConnection, first close the OleDbDataReader object. You must also close the OleDbDataReader object if you plan to resuse an OleDbCommand object.For example, you cannot retrieve output parameters until after you call Close.

Changes made to a result set by another process or thread while data is being read may be visible to the user of the OleDbDataReader. However, the precise behavior is timing dependent.

IsClosed and RecordsAffected are the only properties that you can call after the OleDbDataReader is closed. Although the RecordsAffected property may be accessed while the OleDbDataReader exists, always call Close before returning the value of RecordsAffected to guarantee an accurate return value.

Properties

Depth

Gets the value of the specified column in its native format given the column ordinal.

Item[String]

Gets the value of the specified column in its native format given the column name.

RecordsAffected

Gets the number of rows changed, inserted, or deleted by execution of the SQL statement.

VisibleFieldCount

Gets the number of fields in the OleDbDataReader that are not hidden.

Methods

Close()

Closes the OleDbDataReader object.

CloseAsync()

Asynchronously closes the DbDataReader object.

(Inherited from DbDataReader)
CreateObjRef(Type)

Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object.

(Inherited from MarshalByRefObject)
Dispose()

Releases all resources used by the current instance of the DbDataReader class.

(Inherited from DbDataReader)
Dispose(Boolean)

Releases the unmanaged resources used by the DbDataReader and optionally releases the managed resources.

(Inherited from DbDataReader)
DisposeAsync()

Asynchronously releases all resources used by the current instance of the DbDataReader class.

(Inherited from DbDataReader)
Equals(Object)

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

(Inherited from Object)
Finalize()

Allows the object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.

GetBoolean(Int32)

Gets the value of the specified column as a Boolean.

GetByte(Int32)

Gets the value of the specified column as a byte.

GetBytes(Int32, Int64, Byte[], Int32, Int32)

Reads a stream of bytes from the specified column offset into the buffer as an array starting at the given buffer offset.

GetChar(Int32)

Gets the value of the specified column as a character.

GetChars(Int32, Int64, Char[], Int32, Int32)

Reads a stream of characters from the specified column offset into the buffer as an array starting at the given buffer offset.

GetColumnSchemaAsync(CancellationToken)

This is the asynchronous version of GetColumnSchema(DbDataReader). Providers should override with an appropriate implementation. The cancellationToken can optionally be honored. The default implementation invokes the synchronous GetColumnSchema(DbDataReader) call and returns a completed task. The default implementation will return a cancelled task if passed an already cancelled cancellationToken. Exceptions thrown by GetColumnSchema(DbDataReader) will be communicated via the returned Task Exception property.

(Inherited from DbDataReader)
GetData(Int32)

Returns an OleDbDataReader object for the requested column ordinal.

GetDataTypeName(Int32)

Gets the name of the source data type.

GetDateTime(Int32)

Gets the value of the specified column as a DateTime object.

GetDbDataReader(Int32)

Returns a DbDataReader object for the requested column ordinal that can be overridden with a provider-specific implementation.

(Inherited from DbDataReader)
GetDecimal(Int32)

Gets the value of the specified column as a Decimal object.

GetDouble(Int32)

Gets the value of the specified column as a double-precision floating-point number.

GetEnumerator()

Returns an IEnumerator that can be used to iterate through the rows in the data reader.

GetFieldType(Int32)

Gets the Type that is the data type of the object.

GetFieldValue<T>(Int32)

Gets the value of the specified column as the requested type.

(Inherited from DbDataReader)
GetFieldValueAsync<T>(Int32)

Gets the value of the specified column as a globally unique identifier (GUID).

GetHashCode()

Serves as the default hash function.
