How do I connect to a database and loop over a recordset in C#?

Question

What\'s the simplest way to connect and query a database for a set of records in C#?

Answer 1

That's definitely a good way to do it. But you if you happen to be using a database that supports LINQ to SQL, it can be a lot more fun. It can look something like this:

MyDB db = new MyDB("Data Source=...");
var q = from db.MyTable
        select c;
foreach (var c in q)
  Console.WriteLine(c.MyField.ToString());
