SQLConnection Problem

Hello

I have written following code for getting connectivity with SQL Server. DB server is on separate pc. I am giving its IP address in connection string.

Dim myConnectionString As String = "Provider=SQLOLEDB; Data Source=IP Addr of db server; Initial Catalog=DB Name; User Id=UserName; Password=Password;"

Dim myConnection As New SqlConnection(myConnectionString)
myConnection.Open()

Dim myReadQuery As String = "select * from dbAkitaAdmin"

Dim myCommand As New SqlCommand(myReadQuery)

Dim adapter As New SqlDataAdapter()

Dim myDataSet as New DataSet()

adapter.SelectCommand = myCommand

adapter.Fill(myDataSet)

But it is giving me error as follows

Compiler Error Message: BC30002: Type 'SqlConnection' is not defined.

Pls suggest the way for this connectivity.

Also pls kindly expln about usage of SqlCommand, SqlDataAdapter and SqlDataReader classes.

Thanks
Mahesh

I'm a little surprised that iSystem.Data isn't referenced and imported by default in your project properties, but anyway:

Use:

VB Code:

Dim myConnection As New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection

Hello

You are right, Imports statement must be there. I have added it as follows

Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient

Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)

Dim myConnectionString As String = "Server=IP Addr of DB Server;Database=DB Name;User ID=uname;Password=pwd;Integrated Security=SSPI"
Dim myConnection As New SqlConnection(myConnectionString)
myConnection.Open()

Dim myReadQuery As String = "select * from dbAkitaAdmin"
Dim myCommand As New SqlCommand(myReadQuery)
Dim adapter As New SqlDataAdapter()
Dim myDataSet as New DataSet()
adapter.SelectCommand = myCommand
adapter.Fill(myDataSet)

gridTest.DataSource = dataset
gridTest.DataBind
rdrTest.Close
cmdTest.Dispose
conTest.Close

End Sub

But now it is giving me new error :

Compiler Error Message: BC30465: 'Imports' statements must precede any declarations.

Source Error:

Line 2: <script runat="server">
Line 3:
Line 4: Imports System.Data
Line 5: Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Line 6:

Then I have added Option Strict On, before Imports Statement. But still error is displayed.

Compiler Error Message: BC30627: 'Option' statements must precede any declarations or 'Imports' statements.

Source Error:

Line 2: <script runat="server">
Line 3:
Line 4: Option Strict On
Line 5:
Line 6: Imports System.Data

Please kindly suggest some solution.

Thanks

Option strict On must be the first line in your code.
Imports must follow that and BEFORE any other code.
