System.Data.SqlClient Namespace

The System.Data.SqlClient namespace is the.NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server.

Remarks

The.NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server describes a collection of classes used to access a SQL Server database in the managed space. Using the System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter, you can fill a memory-resident System.Data.DataSet that you can use to query and update the database.

Note:

For conceptual information about using this namespace when programming with the .NET Framework, see Using the .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server.
