Visual Basic Code Listing for FindAnEmp

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The following code creates FindAnEmp.

  Dim proxy As New server.sql_endpoint
  Dim response As New Object
  Dim resultXml As System.Xml.XmlElement
  Dim errorMessage As server.SqlMessage
  Dim outputParam As System.Int32
  Dim param
  Dim i As System.Int16
  Dim rowCount As server.SqlRowCount
  Dim outParam As server.SqlParameter

  param = TextBox1.Text
  proxy.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
  ListBox1.Items.Add("1) Executing batch.  ")
  ListBox1.Items.Add("")

  Dim p(1) As server.SqlParameter
  p(0) = New server.SqlParameter
  p(0).name = "x"
  p(0).Value = TextBox1.Text
  p(0).maxLength = 20
  p(0).direction = server.ParameterDirection.Input
  If (TextBox1.Text = "NULL" Or TextBox1.Text = "null") Then
p(0).Value = Nothing
  End If
  Dim s As String
  s = "SELECT FirstName, LastName " + "FROM  Employee Where EmployeeID=@x " + "FOR XML AUTO"
  response = proxy.sqlbatch(s, p)

  ' loop through response object array to find the individual items
  For i = 0 To Microsoft.VisualBasic.UBound(response)
If (response(i).GetType.IsPrimitive) Then
    ListBox1.Items.Add("Printing Returned Code from SP:")
    ListBox1.Items.Add("The type of the element in obj array is: ")
    ListBox1.Items.Add(response(i).GetType())
    ListBox1.Items.Add("Return Code = ")
    ListBox1.Items.Add(response(i))
End If
