How do I count the number of rows returned in my SQLite reader in C#?

Question

I\'m working in Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express and with SQLite.

I\'m querying my database with something like this:

SQLiteCommand cmd = new SQLiteC         


        

Answer 1

but I really need to know the count before

Why is that ? this is usually not necessary, if you use adequate in-memory data structures (Dataset, List...). There is probably a way to do what you want that doesn't require to count the rows beforehand.
