using System.Configuration;

namespace PBDataAccess
{
    public class AddContact
    {   
        // for preparing connection to sql server database   

        private SqlConnection conn; 

        // for preparing sql statement or stored procedure that 
        // we want to execute on database server

        private SqlCommand cmd; 

        // used for storing the result in datatable, basically 
        // dataset is collection of datatable

        private DataSet ds; 

        // datatable just for storing single table

        private DataTable dt; 

        // data adapter we use it to manage the flow of data
        // from sql server to dataset and after fill the data 
        // inside dataset using fill() method   

        private SqlDataAdapter da; 


        // created a method, which will return the dataset

        public DataSet GetAllContactType() 
        {



    // retrieving the connection string from web.config, which will 
    // tell where our database is located and on which database we want
    // to perform opearation, in this case we are working on stored 
    // procedure so you might have created it somewhere in your database. 
    // connection string will include the name of the datasource, your 
    // database name, user name and password.

        using (conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionString["conn"]
        .ConnectionString)) 

                {
                    // Addcontact is the name of the stored procedure
                    using (cmd = new SqlCommand("Addcontact", conn)) 

                    {
                        cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

                    // here we are passing the parameters that 
                    // Addcontact stored procedure expect.
                     cmd.Parameters.Add("@CommandType",
                     SqlDbType.VarChar, 50).Value = "GetAllContactType"; 

                        // here created the instance of SqlDataAdapter
                        // class and passed cmd object in it
                        da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd); 

                        // created the dataset object
                        ds = new DataSet(); 

                        // fill the dataset and your result will be
                        stored in dataset
                        da.Fill(ds); 
                    }                    
            }  
            return ds;
        }
}
