Value from a DataReader to a string

[Catalin Porancea]

Whenever I try this:

____________________________________________________________________
Dim cmd_sp_payments As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("sp_payments", con)
cmd_sp_payments.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
Dim CustID As SqlParameter = cmd_sp_payments.Parameters.Add("@cust_id",
SqlDbType.Text)
CustID.Value = strCustID
Dim myReader As SqlDataReader = cmd_sp_payments.ExecuteReader()
If myReader.HasRows Then
Dim strLastPayAmt As String = "$" & myReader.GetString("Pay_Amount")
lblLastPayAmt.Text = strLastPayAmt
myReader.Close()
Else
myReader.Close()
End If
_______________________________________________________________________
I get this error:

Hi,

GetString method of DataReader expects only ordinal position of the column
(index), it doesn't accept column name.

You could use either the index of the column (integer) instead of column
name or optionally something like this:

...."$" & Convert.ToString(myReader("Pay_Amount"))

Thanks Teemu.

Now the message I get is
Invalid attempt to read when no data is present.

In query analyzer, exec sp_payments 579 returns one row, as it should.

Can you help me with this?

Ah yes, you need to call Read method for the reader at least once to get the
row.

For example:

Dim myReader As SqlDataReader = cmd_sp_payments.ExecuteReader()
If myReader.HasRows Then

myReader.Read()

Dim strLastPayAmt As String = "$" & myReader.GetString("Pay_Amount")
lblLastPayAmt.Text = strLastPayAmt
myReader.Close()
Else
myReader.Close()
End If

Though this assumes you know, there is always only one row or not a row at
all.

hi,
The error might be in calling the stored procedure with valid
parameters please check if you are passing the correct parameters or
not.

and also another method for getting values from reader is

myReader.GetValue(index).ToString();

Ah yes, you need to call Read method for the reader at least once to get the
row.

For example:

Dim myReader As SqlDataReader = cmd_sp_payments.ExecuteReader()
If myReader.HasRows Then

myReader.Read()

Dim strLastPayAmt As String = "$" & myReader.GetString("Pay_Amount")
lblLastPayAmt.Text = strLastPayAmt
myReader.Close()
Else
myReader.Close()
End If

Though this assumes you know, there is always only one row or not a row at
all.
