Direct method from SQL command text to DataSet

Question

What is the most direct route to get a DataSet if I have a sql command?

string sqlCommand = \"SELECT * FROM TABLE\";
string connectionString = \"blahblah\";
         


        

Answer 1

public static string textDataSource = "Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=TEST_C;User ID=sa;Password=P@ssw0rd";

public static DataSet LoaderDataSet(string StrSql)      
{
    SqlConnection cnn;            
    SqlDataAdapter dad;
    DataSet dts = new DataSet();
    cnn = new SqlConnection(textDataSource);
    dad = new SqlDataAdapter(StrSql, cnn);
    try
    {
        cnn.Open();
        dad.Fill(dts);
        cnn.Close();

        return dts;
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {

        return dts;
    }
    finally
    {
        dad.Dispose();
        dts = null;
        cnn = null;
    }
}

Answer 2

public DataSet GetDataSet(string ConnectionString, string SQL)
{
    SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConnectionString);
    SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter();
    SqlCommand cmd = conn.CreateCommand();
    cmd.CommandText = SQL;
    da.SelectCommand = cmd;
    DataSet ds = new DataSet();

    ///conn.Open();
    da.Fill(ds);
    ///conn.Close();

    return ds;
}

Answer 3

Just finish it up.

string sqlCommand = "SELECT * FROM TABLE";
string connectionString = "blahblah";

DataSet ds = GetDataSet(sqlCommand, connectionString);

DataSet GetDataSet(string sqlCommand, string connectionString)
{
    DataSet ds = new DataSet();
    using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(
        sqlCommand, new SqlConnection(connectionString)))
    {
        cmd.Connection.Open();
        DataTable table = new DataTable();
        table.Load(cmd.ExecuteReader());
        ds.Tables.Add(table);
    }
    return ds;
}
