Tonight’s Class Goals

• Namespaces

• Files and Streams and Directories

• ADO.NET Database Programming– Connectors– Adapters– DataSets

• Using the Grid Control

• Datasets and XML

Namespaces

Namespaces

• The namespace keyword is used to declare a scope. This namespace scope lets you organize code and gives you a way to create globally-unique types.

• Even if you do not explicitly declare one, a default namespace is created. This unnamed namespace, sometimes called the global namespace, is present in every file. Any identifier in the global namespace is available for use in a named namespace.

• Namespaces implicitly have public access and this is not modifiable.

Namespaces• Used to organize classes and types into a

hierarchical structure.• Makes it easier to find types.• Helps prevent name collisions.• Declared with the namespace keyword.

– namespace HelloVS { … }

• Namespaces can be nested– namespace HelloVS { namespace Foo { … } }– namespace HelloVS.Foo { … }

Namespacesnamespace name[.name1] ...] { type-

declarations }

name, name1 - A namespace name can be any legal identifier. A namespace name can contain periods.

type-declarations - Within a namespace, you can declare one or more of the following types:

• another namespace

• class

• interface

• struct

• enum

• delegate

Namespaces and Using• Namespaces can get pretty long

– e.g. System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Http– To use the HttpChannel class, you would need to type:

System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Http.HttpChannel

• Fortunately, C# gives us a shorthand mechanismusing System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Http;

HttpChannel hc = new ….;

• Using can only be used with a namespace, not a class name• Using is just syntactic sugar, does not link any code

automatically.• So System.Console.WriteLine can become

Console.WriteLine

Files and Streams and Directories

Files and Streams and Directories

• Directories and Files• Reading and Writing a Sequential Files • Using OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog

System.IO Namespace

• Directory Class • File Class • StreamReader Class • SteamWriter Class

Directory Class

Exposes static methods for creating, moving, and enumerating through directories and subdirectories.

Directory Classusing System;using System.IO;class Class1 {

[STAThread]static void Main(string[] args) {

string path = "c:\\MyDir";string target = "c:\\TestDir";if (Directory.Exists(path) == false) {

Directory.CreateDirectory(path); // Create Dir.}if (Directory.Exists(target)) {

Directory.Delete(target, True); // Delete Directory}Directory.Move(path, target); // Move DirectoryFile.CreateText(target + "\\myfile.txt"); // New File

}}

File Class

Provides static methods for the creation, copying, deletion, moving, and opening of files, and aids in the creation of

FileStream objects.

File Classusing System;using System.IO;class Class1{

[STAThread]static void Main(string[] args) {

string target = "c:\\TestDir\\Test.Txt"; if (File.Exists(target)) {

File.Delete(target ); }

else {StreamWriter sw = File.CreateText(target);sw.WriteLine("Hello World"); sw.Close();

}}

}

StreamReader Class

Implements a TextReader that reads characters from a byte stream in a particular encoding.

StreamReader Classusing System;using System.IO;class Class1{

[STAThread]static void Main(string[] args) {

using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("TestFile.txt")) {

string line;while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null) {

Console.WriteLine(line);}

}}

}

SteamWriter Class

Implements a TextWriter for writing characters to a stream in a particular encoding.

StreamWriter Class

using System;using System.IO;class Class1{

[STAThread]static void Main(string[] args) {

using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter("TestFile.txt")) {

sw.Write("This is the ");sw.WriteLine("header for the file.");sw.WriteLine("-------------------");sw.Write("The date is: ");sw.WriteLine(DateTime.Now);

}}

}

Represents a common dialog box that displays the control that allows the user to open a file. This

class cannot be inherited.

OpenFileDialog

System.Windows.Forms Namespace

• OpenFileDialog

• SaveFileDialog

SaveFileDialog - Represents a common dialog box that allows the user to specify options for saving a file. This class cannot be inherited.

SaveFileDialog

OpenFileDialogprotected void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {

Stream myStream;

OpenFileDialog openFileDialog1 = new OpenFileDialog();

openFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = "c:\\" ;

openFileDialog1.Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*" ;

openFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 2 ;

openFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory = true ;

if(openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)

{

if((myStream = openFileDialog1.OpenFile())!= null)

{

// Insert code to read the stream here.

myStream.Close();

}

}

}

SaveFileDialogprotected void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {

Stream myStream ;

SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog1 = new SaveFileDialog();

saveFileDialog1.Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*" ;

saveFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 2 ;

saveFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory = true ;

if (saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)

{

if ((myStream = saveFileDialog1.OpenFile()) != null)

{

// Code to write the stream goes here.

myStream.Close();

}

}

}

Databases and SQL

Introduction

Relational Database Model

Structured Query Language (SQL)Basic: SELECT Query

WHERE ClauseORDER BY ClauseINSERT Statement

  UPDATE StatementDELETE Statement

Introduction

• Database:– Integrated collection of data– Database management system (DBMS)

• Provides mechanisms for storing and organizing data in a way that is consistent with database’s format

• Allows storage and access to database without knowledge of internal representation

– Relational Databases most popular• Use Structured Query Language to perform queries (search)

and manipulate data• Programming languages need an interface to interact with

relational databases

Relational Database Model• Logical representation of data:

– Relationships can be considered without concern for physical structure of data

• Composed of tables– Rows called records– Columns called fields– Primary key: field that contains unique data

• Each record can be identified by at least one distinct value

– New sets made from queries called result sets

Books Database

• Microsoft Access• One Table Books

– Title– Author– Copyright– Publisher – Comments

• On Website

Structured Query Language (SQL)

• Used to request data (perform queries) and manipulate data

Structured Query Language (SQL)

SQL Key Word Description

SELECT Select (retrieve) fields from one or more tables.

FROM Tables from which to get fields. Required in every Select statement.

WHERE Criteria for selection that determines the rows to be retrieved.

ORDER BY Criteria for ordering records.

Basic Select Query

• Extracts information from one or more tables in a database

• Format:– Basic: SELECT * FROM tableName– * extracts all columns– To get specific fields use a comma separated

list instead of *

• Example:

SELECT * FROM Books

Where Clause

• Used to specify certain criteria in a query

• Basic form:– SELECT * FROM tableName WHERE criteria

• Example:– SELECT * FROM Books WHERE Author = ‘Robert

Parker’

• Can use LIKE clause– Used for pattern matching

• Uses wildcards– *: zero or more characters take its place

– ?: exactly one character takes its place

ORDER BY Clause

• Used to arrange results of a query– Can be ascending or descending order

• Uses ASC and DESC respectively

• Example:– SELECT * FROM Books ORDER BY Copyright DSC

• Can be used to sort by multiple fields

Insert Statement

• Inserts a new record into a table

• Form: INSERT INTO tableName(fieldName1, …) VALUES (value1, …)

• Values must match field names in order and type

UPDATE Statement

• Modifies data in a table

• Form: UPDATE tableName SET fieldName1 = value1 WHERE criteria

DELETE Statement

• Removes data from a table

• Form: DELETE FROM tableName WHERE criteria

ADO.NET

ADO.NET

.NET Framework data providers

.NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server

For Microsoft® SQL Server™ 7.0 or later.

.NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB

For data sources exposed using OLE DB.

ODBC .NET Framework Data Provider

For data sources exposed using ODBC.

ADO.NETADO.NET is the strategic application-level interface for providing data access services in the Microsoft .NET Platform. You can use ADO.NET to access data sources using the new .NET Framework data providers. These data providers include:

– .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server. – .NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB. – .NET Framework Data Provider for ODBC. – .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle.

These data providers support a variety of development needs, including middle-tier business objects using live connections to data in relational databases and other stores.

ADO Components

• Connections and Adapters

• Datasets

• Grid Control

• XML Output

Database Types

• SQL– SQL Server

• OleDB– Microsoft Access

• ODBC– MySQL

adpt = New OdbcDataAdapter(sqlString , cn)adpt.Fill(ds, "Books")

DataSets

• Replaces the Old Recordset

• Standalone Relational Data Structure

• Completely Separate From the Server

• Resides with Client

• Contains one or more tables

DataSet DataSet ds = new DataSet(); DataTable dt; DataRow rw; DataColumn cl;

dt = ds.Tables.Item("Books");for each rw In dt.Rows {

for each cl In dt.Columns {tmpStr = rw(cl);

}}

Grid Control

• Easy way to display a DataSet Table

Data Grid Control

private DataGrid dg = new DataGrid();

Note: Above created using Form Design.

dg.SetDataBinding(ds, "Books");

dg.Show();

XML Output From DataSet

string strXML;

strXML = ds.GetXml();

WriteListingFile wlf = new WriteListingFile();

wlf.GetFileToOpen();

wlf.WriteLine(strXML);

wlf.Close();

Sample XML Output-- <NewDataSet>-- <Books>
