A small program code will be required to create the SQL connection to the database and perform database operations. Some knowledge of programming and SQL is essential to create database connectivity in asp.net. Namespace System.Data.SqlClient has to be used to make the connection to a database. The SQL connection is created through the SqlConnection API and operations on the database can be done through SqlCommand API.

How to create database connectivity in asp.net

Issue

I'm trying to create database connectivity in asp.net with the SQL server 2005 or MS Access 2007?
Can anybody help please?
Thanks in advance.

Solution

• Step 1 : Add Namspace "using System.Data.SqlClient;"
• Step 2 : Make SQL connection.

Write this code to create an SQL connection:

SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Server=You server name or comp name;Database=Yourdatabasename;Trusted_Connectopn=True");   
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Write your sql query here eg. select * from Table name");  
con.Open();   
DataSet ds = new DataSet(cmd,con);   
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter();   
da.Fill(ds);   
con.Close();
