present sql query in data grid view c#

[eranby]

hi,

I'm using access db in my c# program I have a select query and I want to present
the result in data grid view ,I succeed doing that with this while loop

Code: ( c )
int i = 0,j=0;
while (dbReader.Read( ))
{
dataGridView2.R ows.Add();
dataGridView2[j, dataGridView2.R ows.Count - 1].Value = (string) [ dbReader.GetVal ue(0).ToString( ); j++;
dataGridView2[j, dataGridView2.R ows.Count - 1].Value = (string)dbReade r.GetValue(1); j++;
dataGridView2[j, dataGridView2.R ows.Count - 1].Value = (string)dbReade r.GetValue(2);
i++;
j = 0;
}

is there an appropriate way doing it that sent the all result to the table at once?
thanks,

You haven't specified what DataGridView is - I'm assuming that it's a GridView object. In which case you can just set the DataSource property to your DataReader

Dim oCmd As New SqlCommand("Select....", oCon)
Dim oRdr As SqlDataReader = oCmd.ExecuteReader()
DataGridView2.DataSource = oRdr
DataGridView2.DataBind
oCmd.Dispose()

This should do the job for you without making you iterate through every row in your data reader.

[Edit: Oops, overlooked the fact that you said C#, sorry]
C#

SqlCommand oCmd = New SqlCommand("Select...", oCon);
SqlDataReader oRdr = oCmd.ExecuteReader();
DataGridView2.DataSource = oRdr;
DataGridView2.Databind();
oCmd.Dispose();
