[RESOLVED] dataset or datareader?

what was the best logical step and the fastest connection when i want
to get recordset from sql database.

my table name is "employee".
i have a stored procedure named "getuser" parameter is @user.

my goal is for login inform.wat to use datareader or dataset?

pls give code how to populate a dataset and or datareader

and how to compare user record value against given uservalue.

thanks in advanced! :wave:

Datareader would be fastest for read-only data.

how can i use sqldatareader with stored procedure

VB Code:

Public Sub ReadMyData(myConnString As String)
    Dim mySelectQuery As String = "SELECT OrderID, CustomerID FROM Orders"
    Dim myConnection As New SqlConnection(myConnString)
    Dim myCommand As New SqlCommand(mySelectQuery, myConnection)
    myConnection.Open()
    Dim myReader As SqlDataReader
    myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader()
    ' Always call Read before accessing data.
    While myReader.Read()
        Console.WriteLine((myReader.GetInt32(0) & ", " & myReader.GetString(1)))
    End While
    ' always call Close when done reading.
    myReader.Close()
    ' Close the connection when done with it.
    myConnection.Close()
End Sub 'ReadMyData

You can easily modify the mycommand object to work with an SP of your choice.

Ah, I found an example:

VB Code:

Dim nwindConn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection("Data Source=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;" & _
                                                   "Initial Catalog=northwind")
 
Dim salesCMD As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("SalesByCategory", nwindConn)
salesCMD.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
 
Dim myParm As SqlParameter = salesCMD.Parameters.Add("@CategoryName", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 15)
myParm.Value = "Beverages"
 
nwindConn.Open()
 
Dim myReader As SqlDataReader = salesCMD.ExecuteReader()
 
Console.WriteLine("{0}, {1}", myReader.GetName(0), myReader.GetName(1))
 
Do While myReader.Read()
  Console.WriteLine("{0}, ${1}", myReader.GetString(0), myReader.GetDecimal(1))
Loop
 
myReader.Close()
nwindConn.Close()
