I'm typically used to traditional table in SQL
where I have multiple columns
with rows populated. I execute a stored procedure and store all the data in DataTable
and loop through the table to get the results I need. For example,
public static DataTable getInfo (string sessionID)
{
try
{
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["SandBox"].ConnectionString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("GetSessionInfo", conn);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("SessionGUID", sessionID);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
da.Fill(dt);
return dt;
}
catch (Exception)
{
throw;
}
}
I would load the DataTable:
DataTable infoTbl = new DataTable();
infoTbl = getInfo(lbldatabasesessionID.Text);
And I would use foreach
loop to loop through the DataTable.
foreach (DataRow row in infoTbl.Rows)
{
string x = col.ToString();
}
The issue I run into is the database guy gave me a stored procedure that returns a different output (different from what I'm used to). It's a row based.
The only way I can access for example the First Name
is if I hard code the position like:
string firstName = infoTbl.Rows[16][2].ToString();
I don't feel comfortable doing this since the position could potentially change. How would I access ElementValue
by knowing the name knowing ElementType
and ElementName
?
Any suggestions?
Using DataSet:
string firstName = string.Empty;
DataRow row = table.Select("ElementType = 'Demographics' AND ElementName = 'FirstName'").FirstOrDefault();
if (row != null)
{
firstName = (string)row["ElementValue"];
}
Using Linq:
string firstName = table.AsEnumerable()
.Where(f => f.Field<string>("ElementType") == "Demographics" &&
f.Field<string>("ElementName") == "FirstName")
.Select(f => f.Field<string>("ElementValue")).FirstOrDefault();
