SqlContext Class
Represents an abstraction of the caller's context, which provides access to the SqlPipe, SqlTriggerContext, and WindowsIdentity objects. This class cannot be inherited.
Assembly: System.Data (in System.Data.dll)
The SqlContext type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | IsAvailable | Specifies whether the calling code is running within SQL Server, and if the context connection can be accessed. |
![]() ![]() | Pipe | Gets the pipe object that allows the caller to send result sets, messages, and the results of executing commands back to the client. |
![]() ![]() | TriggerContext | Gets the trigger context used to provide the caller with information about what caused the trigger to fire, and a map of the columns that were updated. |
![]() ![]() | WindowsIdentity | The Microsoft Windows identity of the caller. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
The SqlContext object can be used to obtain the trigger context (for code executing in a trigger) and the pipe object (when available, such as in stored procedures). It can also be used to obtain a WindowsIdentity object that represents the Microsoft Windows identity of the calling client, if the client authenticated with the server using integrated authentication.
The following example creates a new SqlDataRecord and its SqlMetaData. The example then marks the beginning of a result set using the SendResultsStart method, sends records with example data back to the client using the SendResultsRow() method, and marks the end of the result set with the SendResultsEnd method.
