Here we see how to use ADO.net to connect to a SQL Server database, count the records and delete the records from the database. we create a table in SQL Server database which has the name emp3 and using count statement to count the row and delete command delete the records from table.

Creating connection object


To create a connection we pass the connection string as a parameter in connection object.


Dim
str As String = "Data Source=.;uid=sa;pwd=123;database=master"

Dim con As New SqlConnection(str)
 

Count rows in a table

To count all the rows of the table we use the following statement.

select count(*) from emp3


Delete command

The delete command is used to delete the record from database has the below command:

delete from emp3 where firstname='rahul' AND lastname='kumar'

Now we create a database table and insert some values in this table. Table looks like this.

        Dim con As New SqlConnection(str)

        Try

            con.Open()

            Dim com As New SqlCommand("select count(*) from emp3", con)

            Console.WriteLine("Number of row in table:=" & com.ExecuteScalar())

            com.CommandText = "delete from emp3 where firstname='rahul' AND lastname='kumar'"

            Console.WriteLine("Executing {0}", com.CommandText)

            Console.WriteLine("Number of rows affected in table : {0}", com.ExecuteNonQuery())

            con.Close()

        Catch ex As Exception

            Console.WriteLine("can not delete record")

        End Try
