SqlXmlCommand Object (SQLXML Managed Classes)

  • Articolo

This is the constructor for the SqlXmlCommand object:

public SqlXmlCommand(string cnString)

Where cnString is the ADO or OLEDB connection string that identifies the server, database, and the login information—for example, Provider=SQLOLEDB; Server=(local); database=AdventureWorks; Integrated Security=SSPI".

In the connection string, the Provider must be SQLOLEDB and the Data Provider should not be included in the provider string).

For a working sample, see Executing SQL Queries (SQLXML Managed Classes).

Methods

The SqlXmlCommand object supports several methods, including the following methods for executing a command:

  • void ExecuteNonQuery()
    Executes the command, but does not return anything. This method is useful if you want to execute a nonquery command (that is, a command that does not return anything). An example is executing an updategram or a DiffGram that updates records but returns nothing.
  • public void ExecuteToStream(Stream outputStream)
    Writes the query results to an existing stream. This method is useful when you have a stream to which you need the results appended (for example, to have the query results written to the System.Web.HttpResponse.OutputStream). For a working sample, see Executing SQL Queries (SQLXML Managed Classes).
  • XmlReader ExecuteXmlReader()
    Returns an XmlReader object. You can use this method to either manipulate data in the XmlReader object directly or plug in the chainable architecture of System.Xml. For more information, see the Microsoft .NET Framework documentation. For a working sample, see Executing SQL Queries by Using the ExecuteXMLReader Method.

The SqlXmlCommand object also supports these additional methods:

  • SqlXmlParameter CreateParameter()
    Creates an SqlXmlParameter object. You can set values for the Name and Value parameters of this object. This method is useful if you want to pass parameters to a command. For a working sample, see Executing SQL Queries (SQLXML Managed Classes).
  • void ClearParameters()
    Clears parameter(s) that were created for a given command object. This method is useful if you want to execute multiple queries on the same command object.

Properties

The SqlXmlCommand object also supports these properties:

  • ClientSideXml
    When set to True, specifies that conversion of the rowset to XML is to occur on the client instead of on the server. This property is useful when you want to move the performance load to the middle tier. The property also allows you to wrap the existing stored procedures with FOR XML to get XML output.
  • SchemaPath
    The name of the mapping schema along with the directory path (for example, C:\x\y\MySchema.xml). This property is useful for specifying a mapping schema for XPath queries. The path that is specified can be absolute or relative. If the path is relative, the base path that is specified in Base Path is used to resolve the relative path. If no base path is specified, the relative path is relative to the current directory. For a working sample, see Accessing SQLXML Functionality in the .NET Environment.
  • XslPath
    The name of the XSL file along with the directory path. The path that is specified can be absolute or relative. If the path is relative, the base path that is specified in Base Path is used to resolve the relative path. If no base path is specified, the relative path is relative to the current directory. For a working sample, see Applying an XSL Transformation (SQLXML Managed Classes).
  • Base Path
    The base path (a directory path). This property is useful for resolving a relative path that is specified for an XSL file (by using the XslPath property), a mapping schema file (by using the SchemaPath property), or an external schema reference in an XML template (specified by using the mapping-schema attribute).
  • OutputEncoding
    Specifies the encoding for the stream that is returned when the command executes. This property is useful for requesting a specific encoding for the stream that is returned. Some commonly used encodings are UTF-8, ANSI, and Unicode. UTF-8 is the default encoding.
  • RootTag
    Provides the single root element for XML generated by command execution. A valid XML document requires a single root-level tag. If the command executed generates an XML fragment (without a single top-level element) you can specify a root element for the returning XML. For a working sample, see Applying an XSL Transformation (SQLXML Managed Classes).
  • CommandStream
    The command stream. This property is useful if you want to execute a command from a file (for example, an XML template). When you are using CommandStream, only "Template", "UpdateGram" and "DiffGram"CommandType values are supported. For a working sample, see Executing Template Files by Using the CommandStream Property.

  • CommandType
    Identifies the type of command. This property is used for specifying the type of command you want to execute. The values in the following table determine the type of the command. For a working sample, see Accessing SQLXML Functionality in the .NET Environment.
