Should I use ExecuteNonQuery for this db backup command

Question

I have a method that allows me to kick off a back up of a data base. What I am wondering is if I should be using ExecuteNonQuery() in this context or if there is something

Answer 1

ExecuteNonQuery means that the command doesn't return any data. It doesn't mean that it executes asynchronously or that you won't receive error information. It will block until the command finishes and return any errors that may occur
