ADO.NET Architecture

ADO.NET is a data access technology from Microsoft .Net Framework , which provides communication between relational and non-relational systems through a common set of components . ADO.NET was built for a disconnected architecture , so it enables truly disconnected data access and data manipulation through its Dataset Object, which is completely independent from the Data Source.
ado.net-architecture.JPG

The two key components of ADO.NET are Data Providers and DataSet . The .Net Framework includes mainly three Data Providers for ADO.NET. The Microsoft SQL Server , OLEDB and ODBC are the main Data Providers in the .Net Framework. In the following pages you can see each component of ADO.NET in details with source code.




The following diagrams show the basic ADO.NET component architecture. The diagram on the left shows the Data Provider classes:

Command, Connection, DataAdapter, and DataReader. These classes provide bridges between .NET applications and data sources. The diagram on the right shows the DataSet class hierarchy. These classes create the .NET application's representation of a set of data.

How to merge tables in a Dataset - Sql Server

DataSet ....

The DataSet contains copy of the data we requested through the SQL statement. The SqlDataAdapter object allows us to populate DataTable in a DataSet. We can use Fill method in the SqlDataAdapter for populating data in a Dataset. We can populate Dataset with more than one table at a time using SqlDataAdapter Object. The DataTableCollection contains zero or more DataTable objects.

In some situation we want to combine the result of multiple SQL query as a single result set. In that case we can use the Dataset's Merge method for doing this. The tables involved in the merge should be identical, that is the columns are similar data types .


Private Sub GetUsersList()

Dim connetionString As String
Dim connection As SqlConnection
Dim command As SqlCommand
Dim adapter As New SqlDataAdapter
Dim ds As New DataSet
Dim dt As DataTable
Dim firstSql As String
Dim secondSql As String
Dim i As Integer
connetionString = "Data Source=.;Initial Catalog=Nafex;User ID=sa;Password=111"
firstSql = "Select * from tblUser"
secondSql = "Select * from tluVrType"
connection = New SqlConnection(connetionString)
Try
connection.Open()
command = New SqlCommand(firstSql, connection)
adapter.SelectCommand = command
adapter.Fill(ds, "Table(0)")
adapter.SelectCommand.CommandText = secondSql
adapter.Fill(ds, "Table(1)")
adapter.Dispose()
command.Dispose()
connection.Close()

ds.Tables(0).Merge(ds.Tables(1))
dt = ds.Tables(0)

For i = 0 To dt.Rows.Count - 1
MsgBox(dt.Rows(i).Item(0) & " -- " & dt.Rows(i).Item(1))
Next
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("Can not open connection ! ")
End Try

End Sub

String Format for Double ( 0.00)

String Format for Double [C#]

The following examples show how to format float numbers to string in C#. You can use static method String.Format or instance methods double.ToString and float.ToString.

Digits after decimal point

This example formats double to string with fixed number of decimal places. For two decimal places use pattern „0.00“. If a float number has less decimal places, the rest digits on the right will be zeroes. If it has more decimal places, the number will be rounded.

[C#]

// just two decimal places
String.Format("{0:0.00}", 123.4567);      // "123.46"
String.Format("{0:0.00}", 123.4);         // "123.40"
String.Format("{0:0.00}", 123.0);         // "123.00"

Next example formats double to string with floating number of decimal places. E.g. for maximal two decimal places use pattern „0.##“.

[C#]

// max. two decimal places
String.Format("{0:0.##}", 123.4567);      // "123.46"
String.Format("{0:0.##}", 123.4);         // "123.4"
String.Format("{0:0.##}", 123.0);         // "123"

Digits before decimal point

If you want a float number to have any minimal number of digits before decimal point use N-times zero before decimal point. E.g. pattern „00.0“ formats a float number to string with at least two digits before decimal point and one digit after that.

[C#]

// at least two digits before decimal point
String.Format("{0:00.0}", 123.4567);      // "123.5"
String.Format("{0:00.0}", 23.4567);       // "23.5"
String.Format("{0:00.0}", 3.4567);        // "03.5"
String.Format("{0:00.0}", -3.4567);       // "-03.5"

Thousands separator

To format double to string with use of thousands separator use zero and comma separator before an usual float formatting pattern, e.g. pattern „0,0.0“ formats the number to use thousands separators and to have one decimal place.

[C#]

String.Format("{0:0,0.0}", 12345.67);     // "12,345.7"
String.Format("{0:0,0}", 12345.67);       // "12,346"

Zero

Float numbers between zero and one can be formatted in two ways, with or without leading zero before decimal point. To format number without a leading zero use # before point. For example „#.0“ formats number to have one decimal place and zero to N digits before decimal point (e.g. „.5“ or „123.5“).

Following code shows how can be formatted a zero (of double type).

[C#]

String.Format("{0:0.0}", 0.0);            // "0.0"
String.Format("{0:0.#}", 0.0);            // "0"
String.Format("{0:#.0}", 0.0);            // ".0"
String.Format("{0:#.#}", 0.0);            // ""

Align numbers with spaces

To align float number to the right use comma „,“ option before the colon. Type comma followed by a number of spaces, e.g. „0,10:0.0“ (this can be used only in String.Format method, not in double.ToString method). To align numbers to the left use negative number of spaces.

[C#]

String.Format("{0,10:0.0}", 123.4567);    // "     123.5"
String.Format("{0,-10:0.0}", 123.4567);   // "123.5     "
String.Format("{0,10:0.0}", -123.4567);   // "    -123.5"
String.Format("{0,-10:0.0}", -123.4567);  // "-123.5    "

Custom formatting for negative numbers and zero

If you need to use custom format for negative float numbers or zero, use semicolon separator „;“ to split pattern to three sections. The first section formats positive numbers, the second section formats negative numbers and the third section formats zero. If you omit the last section, zero will be formatted using the first section.

[C#]

String.Format("{0:0.00;minus 0.00;zero}", 123.4567);   // "123.46"
String.Format("{0:0.00;minus 0.00;zero}", -123.4567);  // "minus 123.46"
String.Format("{0:0.00;minus 0.00;zero}", 0.0);        // "zero"

Some funny examples

As you could notice in the previous example, you can put any text into formatting pattern, e.g. before an usual pattern „my text 0.0“. You can even put any text between the zeroes, e.g. „0aaa.bbb0“.

[C#]

String.Format("{0:my number is 0.0}", 12.3);   // "my number is 12.3"
String.Format("{0:0aaa.bbb0}", 12.3);          // "12aaa.bbb3"

Adding Row Number to SQL SELECT result

ntroduction This article will explain how we can add sequence row number to a SQL select query starting from 1 onwards. This can be achieved by using built in SQL function ?ROW_NUMBER()?. This function simply generates row number for each row in the result. You can specify the partition and order by criteria. This is how it works:

e.g. Suppose we have a table ?Employees?.

SELECT EmployeeId, EmployeeName, Salary
   FROM Employees

EmployeeId   EmployeeName     Salary
-------------------------------------
1002         Alden            4000
2343         Lawson           4500
2004         Barbra           4800
1105         Marsden          4500
3116         Mac              5000

Use of ROW_NUMBER() will assign sequence number to rows as:

SELECT ROW_NUMBER()
       OVER (ORDER BY EmployeeName) AS Row,
   EmployeeId, EmployeeName, Salary
FROM Employees

Row   EmployeeId   EmployeeName     Salary
-------------------------------------------
1     1002         Alden            4000
2     2343         Lawson           4500
3     2004         Barbra           4800
4     1105         Marsden          4500
5     3116         Mac              5000

Using ROW_NUMBER() for calculating Nth highest salary

We can utilize this function for calculating Nth highest salary of a employee. Suppose we want to find employee with 4th highest salary. This can be done as:

SELECT * FROM
   (SELECT ROW_NUMBER()
       OVER (ORDER BY Salary) AS Row,
       EmployeeId, EmployeeName, Salary
   FROM Employees) AS EMP
WHERE Row = 4

Row   EmployeeId   EmployeeName     Salary
-------------------------------------------
4     1105         Marsden          4500

Using ROW_NUMBER() in case of pagination

This can also be used for getting rows which belongs to a particular page only. This is very common scenario of a business application where we have lots of rows in database and we want to filter based on page number.

SELECT * FROM
   (SELECT ROW_NUMBER()
       OVER (ORDER BY EmployeeName) AS Row,
       EmployeeId, EmployeeName, Salary
   FROM Employees) AS EMP
WHERE Row BETWEEN 2 AND 4

Row   EmployeeId   EmployeeName     Salary
-------------------------------------------
2     2343         Lawson           4500
3     2004         Barbra           4800
4     1105         Marsden          4500
