I am new to this and had this question. Can I use SQLDataReader instead of a Recordset. I want to achieve the following result in an SQLDataReader.

Answer 1

Dim rdrDataReader As SqlClient.SqlDataReader
Dim cmdCommand As SqlClient.SqlCommand
Dim dtsData As New DataSet
Dim dtbTable As New DataTable
Dim i As Integer
Dim SQLStatement as String

msqlConnection.Open()

cmdCommand = New SqlClient.SqlCommand(SQLStatement, msqlConnection)

rdrDataReader = cmdCommand.ExecuteReader()

For i = 0 To (rdrDataReader.FieldCount - 1)
    dtbTable.Columns.Add(rdrDataReader.GetName(i), rdrDataReader.GetFieldType(i))
Next
dtbTable.BeginLoadData()

Dim values(rdrDataReader.FieldCount - 1) As Object

While rdrDataReader.Read
    rdrDataReader.GetValues(values)
    dtbTable.LoadDataRow(values, True)
End While
dtbTable.EndLoadData()

dtsData.Tables.Add(dtbTable)

msqlConnection.Close()

Return dtsData
