i wrote this bit of c# code to go into the database and fetch a username but it keeps on saying the connection is not open but i opened it so i do not understand. This code is written within a class which i call i the main :
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Data; using System.Data.OleDb; namespace ConsoleApplication1 { class @dbconnection { private OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(); void con() { conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=localhost\\sqlexpress;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=ecg_projectDB2"; conn.Open(); } public OleDbConnection connection { get { return conn; } } } class @test { private static string user; public static string username { get { return user; } set { user = value; } } public void getname() { OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(); dbconnection db = new dbconnection(); cmd.Connection = db.connection; cmd.CommandText = "select * from ecg_projectDB2.dbo.adminusers where password = 'user'"; cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text; OleDbDataReader dr = default(OleDbDataReader); dr = cmd.ExecuteReader(); if(dr.Read()) { username = (string)dr["username"]; Console.Write(username); } dr.Dispose(); dr.Close(); } } }
