How do I count the number of rows returned in my SQLite reader in C#?

Question

I\'m working in Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express and with SQLite.

I\'m querying my database with something like this:

SQLiteCommand cmd = new SQLiteC         


        

Answer 1

Try this,

SQLiteCommand cmd = new SQLiteCommand(conn);

cmd.CommandText = "select id from myTable where word = '" + word + "';";

SQLiteDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();

while (reader.HasRows)

     reader.Read();

int total_rows_in_resultset = reader.StepCount;

total_rows_in_resultset gives you the number of rows in resultset after processing query

remember that if you wanna use the same reader then close this reader and start it again.
