Hi,

I'm building a C# VS2005 project and I need an elegant way to output
query results to an string[] array or list<Tof delimited strings.

Thanks,

Bill

Hi Bill,

Thank you for using Microsoft Managed Newsgroup Support Service, my name is
Zhi-Xin Ye and I'm assigned to help you with this issue.

You can use the SqlDataReader object, and copy all the records from it to
an array.

Code sample for your information:

string connstr = "Persist Security Info=False;Inte grated
Security=SSPI;I nitial Catalog=Northwi nd;server=local host";
string sql = "SELECT CompanyName From Customers";

SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(c onnstr);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.CommandText = sql;

SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteRead er();

List<stringrecd s = new List<string>();
while (dr.Read())
{
recds.Add((stri ng)dr[0]);
}

Should you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.

Sincerely,
