Retrieve two tables of data at the same time by using data reader

Include 2 select statements either in a stored procedure or in a select command and call the ExecuteReader() method on the command object. This will automatically fill the DataReader with 2 Tables of data.

The datareader will always return the data from first table only. If you want to get the second table then you need to use ReaderObject.NextResult() method. The NextResult() method will return true if there is another table.

Example:


SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("trusted_connection=yes;database=northwind;server=localhost");
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from categories;select * from products", con);
con.Open();

SqlDataReader dr=cmd.ExecuteReader();
GridView1.DataSource = dr;
GridView1.DataBind();


while (dr.NextResult())
{
GridView2.DataSource = dr;
GridView2.DataBind();

}

A HREF="http://www.yourdomain.com" TARGET="_blank"

If you're linking to a lot of other web sites within your web page and would like to open all of your links in a new window, this HTML code is for you.

The following HTML code will enable you to open all of your links in a new window. Place this code between your HEAD tag within your HTML:
