How to get SQL result saved into a C# variable?

Question

I have troubles finding out how to save an SQL result into a String or whatever type the result returns.

My SQL query is:

SELECT SUM(Length) FROM tbl_tes         


        

Answer 1

You need to connect C# to your Database through some of the available methods:

1. LinQ to SQL
2. ADO.NET
3. LinQ to Entities

I would think ADO.NET is the most basic and straightforward way to do it given you actual query.
