SQL Property (SqlDBDataSource)

Specifies a valid SQL statement used to retrieve records from the data source.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property SQL As String

public string SQL {get; set;}

Remarks

ActiveReports creates a DataReader and uses it to load the data into the report.

The SQL string may contain parameter placeholder syntax to fill the report's parameters collection and prompt the user to enter their values before executing the report.

Example

Private void rpt_ReportStart(object sender, System.EventArgs eArgs)
{
    ((GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Data.OleDBDataSource)(this.DataSource)).ConnectionString = @"Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks2000;Data Source=TESTING";
    ((GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Data.OleDBDataSource)(this.DataSource)).CommandTimeout = 30;
    System.IO.StringReader sr = new System.IO.StringReader(new System.IO.StreamReader("..\\..\\sqlString.txt").ReadToEnd());
    ((GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Data.OleDBDataSource)(this.DataSource)).SQL = sr.ReadToEnd();
    sr.Close();
}

Visual Basic

Private Sub rpt_ReportStart(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.ReportStart
    CType(Me.DataSource, GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Data.OleDBDataSource).CommandTimeout = 30
    CType(Me.DataSource, GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Data.OleDBDataSource).ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=AdventureWorks2000;Data Source=TESTING"
    Dim sr As New System.IO.StringReader(New System.IO.StreamReader("..\\..\\sqlString.txt").ReadToEnd())
