IDataReader.NextResult Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Data

Assembly:

System.Data.Common.dll

Advances the data reader to the next result, when reading the results of batch SQL statements.

public:
 bool NextResult();

public bool NextResult ();

abstract member NextResult : unit -> bool

Public Function NextResult () As Boolean

Returns

Boolean

true if there are more rows; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Used to process multiple results, which can be obtained by executing batch SQL statements.

By default, the data reader is positioned on the first result.
