Simplest way to populate class from query in C# [closed]

问题

I want to populate a class from a query. this is an example class:

private class TVChannelObject
{
    public string number { get; set; }
    public string title { get; set; }
    public string favoriteChannel { get; set; }
    public string description { get; set; }
    public string packageid { get; set; }
    public string format { get; set; }

}

How can I fill this class from an database query? Is there any way to do this automatically as far as table column names are identical to class attributes?

As others have suggested, an ORM is the best way to go. You could, however, implement this functionality using reflection:

using System.Reflection;

void Main()
{
    var connectionString = "...";
    var records = new Query(connectionString).SqlQuery<TVChannel>("select top 10 * from TVChannel");
}

private class TVChannel
{
    public string number { get; set; }
    public string title { get; set; }
    public string favoriteChannel { get; set; }
    public string description { get; set; }
    public string packageid { get; set; }
    public string format { get; set; }
}

public class Query
{
    private readonly string _connectionString;

    public Query(string connectionString)
    {
        _connectionString = connectionString;
    }

    public List<T> SqlQuery<T>(string query)
    {
        var result = new List<T>();

        using (var connection = new SqlConnection(_connectionString))
        {
            connection.Open();
            using (var command = connection.CreateCommand())
            {
                command.CommandText = query;
                using (var reader = command.ExecuteReader())
                {
                    var columns = Enumerable.Range(0, reader.FieldCount).Select(reader.GetName).ToArray();
                    var properties = typeof(T).GetProperties();

                    while (reader.Read())
                    {
                        var data = new object[reader.FieldCount];
                        reader.GetValues(data);

                        var instance = (T)Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(T));

                        for (var i = 0; i < data.Length; ++i)
                        {
                            if (data[i] == DBNull.Value)
                            {
                                data[i] = null;
                            }

                            var property = properties.SingleOrDefault(x => x.Name.Equals(columns[i], StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase));

                            if (property != null)
                            {
                                property.SetValue(instance, Convert.ChangeType(data[i], property.PropertyType));
                            }
                        }
                        result.Add(instance);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        return result;
    }
}

You can use Linq to SQL with C#. With Linq, you can easily map your tables with C# classes and then query or populate them with a few lines of code.

Check out this link: Insert rows with Linq to SQL

EDIT:

The first thing you need to do is to map your class to your database table. Like this:

[Table(Name = "tvchannel")] // Here you put the name of the table in your database.
private class TVChannelObject
{
    Column(Name = "number", IsPrimaryKey = true)] // Here, number is the name of the column in the database and it is the primary key of the table.
    public string number { get; set; }

    [Column(Name = "title", CanBeNull = true)] // If the field is nullable, then you can set it on CanBeNull property.
    public string title { get; set; }

    [Column(Name = "channelFavorite", CanBeNull = true)] // Note that you can have a field in the table with a different name than the property in your class.
    public string favoriteChannel { get; set; }

    [Column(Name = "desc", CanBeNull = true)]
    public string description { get; set; }

    [Column(Name = "package", CanBeNull = false)]
    public string packageid { get; set; }

    [Column(Name = "format", CanBeNull = false)]
    public string format { get; set; }

}

After mapping your database with the corresponding fields for your table, you can now build a method in your class to insert a row:

public void InsertTvChannel()
{
    // DataContext takes a connection string. 
    string connString = "Data Source=SomeServer;Initial Catalog=SomeDB;User ID=joe;Password=swordfish" //example
    DataContext db = new DataContext(connString);

    // Create a new object tv channel to insert
    TVChannelObject channel = new TVChannelObject();
    channel.number = 1;
    channel.title = "Some title";
    channel.favoriteChannel = "some channel";
    channel.description = "some description";
    channel.packageid = "the package id";
    channel.format = "the format";

    // Now that you have the object for the new channel, let's insert it:
    db.TVChannelObjects.InsertOnSubmit(channel); //this just adds to a collection. It is a prepare to insert.

    // Submit the change to the database.
    try
    {
         db.SubmitChanges();
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
         Console.WriteLine(e);
        // If you face errors, you can handle it with some code here.
        // ...
        // Try again.
        db.SubmitChanges();
    }
}

This code should work, with just a few adjustments. Now you have an example to insert with a Linq mapping.

Use ORM like entity framework. For your simplicity , follow this link
