ExecuteNonReader

I don't find a knowledge base article for the same in MSDN. Based on what I know and can infer, using it to get just a 'single' value will be an overhead. It should be used when database query is going to provide a set of records.

My guess, term in discussion is ExecuteNonQuery and should not be ExecuteNonReader.

Executes the query, and returns the first column of the first row in the result set returned by the query.
Refer: Refer: SqlCommand.ExecuteScalar Method [^]

Now, based on the details and documentation, for getting a count, ExecuteScalar fits in the best that will get me the result directly as needed.

Hi,

ExecuteNonReader: used actions like insert, update, delete

ExecuteScalar: will return an object

for details you can learn from some books about these two.

Thanks,

Hi,

ExecuteReader

Do not use: when database query is going to provide for sure exactly 1 record. It may be getting record by its id (which is PK in the database) - GetOrderById and such. In this case use ExecuteNonQuery with output parameters.

Use: when database query is going to provide a set of records. It may be search or report.

ExecuteNonQuery

Use: when we are talking about a single database record - in Update, Insert, Delete and Get by Id. In all these cases we can use input/output/input-output parameters. Please note that from the application architecture point of view it is also good practices when your Insert and Update stored procedure returns changed record exactly like Get By Id method does.

ExecuteScalar

Do not use: when database query returns a single value and this value can be defined as parameter in T-SQL. ExecuteNonQuery with output parameter(s) is always preferred in this case since it is more flexible, tomorrow there will be 2 values therefore having ExecuteNonQuery we do not need to change method signatures.

Use: when database query returns a single value and this value cannot be defined as output parameter, because of T-SQL type limitation for variables. For example type image cannot be output parameter in MSSQL.

The most common example for ExecuteScalar is fetching a single image stored in the database and converting it to array of bytes. If you google it - most examples will demonstrate using of ExecuteReader to accomplish image handler, however ExecuteScalar will be more scalable and faster.

Conclusion

Always use ExecuteNonQuery except: when you have a set of records - use ExecuteReader and when you have a single output value that cannot be defined as a parameter - use ExecuteScalar. Hope this helped to clarify something. Enjoy Smile | :)

Thanks CommDev.

But if I am going to return GetOrderById.. what's the difference if I am going to use ExecuteNonQuery with Output parameter or ExecuteReader with return SqldataReader?

Does it make a difference specially performance wise?

a control that should contain html elements

hi,

Generally we use execute scalar function for displaying the first column and first row, but if we use ExecuteNonReader it will show error why because in asp.net only 3 commands are there ExecuteReader()
ExecuteNonQuery()
ExecuteScalar() this is the option to get one value from the database.

Guys;
I am developing a control that should contain html elements
like

ASP.NET

<web:CommandLink ID="cmdDelete" runat="Server" >
    <img alt="Delete" src="images/delete.jpg" />
</web:CommandLink>

I started with implementing IParserAccessor.
Am I in the right direction ?

Thank you.

A server one.

the new thing is I implemented IParserAccessor.AddParsedSubObject this way

Public Sub AddParsedSubObject(ByVal obj As Object) Implements System.Web.UI.IParserAccessor.AddParsedSubObject
    If (TypeOf (obj) Is LiteralControl) Then
        Me._templateText = CType(obj, LiteralControl).Text
    Else
        Throw New Exception("Not supported")
    End If
End Sub

it works fine but it gives me the validation error 'img cannot be nested with commandlink'.
what should I do to avoid that?

Ma'am;
You have a gridview with a check box in each row and you want an array of the selected rows keys. right?

if so, you should have a template column that contain a check box with a specific name say 'Selection'

HTML

<input type="checkbox" name="Selection" value="<%# Eval("Key")%>" />

when you postback the page you can get the array using Request["Selection"]

Help people,so poeple can help you.

Just check if you are binding the grid data again on postback. If so, before the update event is raised the data will be back to previous state and changes will be lost.

You need to put the databind code for the grid in Page.IsPostback property to avoid a rebind until unless specified in a postback.

Think about this: how many words do you expect to convert? Can you keep that many words somewhere without a database of some sort?

If you plan to translate by your own, you would need database! If you want the conversion without too much of an effort, you can try a 3rd party translation service where you pass on the English words and get back the translated value. Google translate could be of help to start with.

Either the cast to "param_is_exist" failed, or website event log failed. I really think you need to move that whole code block to finally.

finally
if (Convert.ToBoolean(sql_command.Parameters["param_is_exist"].Value) != true)
    {
        // member_id = sql_command.Parameters["param_record_identity"].Value.ToString();
        // member_guid = sql_command.Parameters["param_record_guid"].Value.ToString();
        // activation_code = sql_command.Parameters["param_activation_code"].Value.ToString();

        website_event_log.add_event_log("Membership", txtChannelName.Text.Trim(), "You have successfully signed up");
 
        Response.Redirect("~/Channels", true);
end try

but the finally will run no matter what try was successful or error was catched? right?

Yes that is correct.

So you make an exitCode as an integer = 2

exitCode integer = 2

do your checks,

in the catch, make exitCode = 1

in the Try, exitCode = 0

So in the finally, if the exitCode is 2, it's complete failure
if the exitCode is 1, you trapped the error, log it or display it
if the exitCode is 0, the program ran correctly

  exitCode integer = 2;

Try
  // Run your code
  exitCode = 0

catch ex as exception
  exitCode = 1

Finally
  switch exitCode {
     case 2

     case 1

     case 0
      response.redirect("~/correct");
    }
  }
}
