I am new to .NET Core. I have defined the connection string in appsettings.json like this:
"ConnectionStrings": {
"TestBD": "Server=localhost;Database=Test;Trusted_Connection=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=true"
}
I am not using Entity Framework. I need to connect to the database using this connection string from the Program.cs file.
Any help is really appreciated. Thanks
You refer the following sample code to use ADO.NET in Asp.net 6 program.cs:
//required using Microsoft.Data.SqlClient;
app.MapGet("/movies", () =>
{
var movies = new List<Movie>();
//to get the connection string
var _config = app.Services.GetRequiredService<IConfiguration>();
var connectionstring = _config.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection");
//build the sqlconnection and execute the sql command
using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connectionstring))
{
conn.Open();
string commandtext = "select MovieId, Title, Genre from Movie";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(commandtext, conn);
var reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (reader.Read())
{
var movie = new Movie()
{
MovieId = Convert.ToInt32(reader["MovieId"]),
Title = reader["Title"].ToString(),
Genre = reader["Genre"].ToString()
};
movies.Add(movie);
}
}
return movies;
});
The result like this:
SqlConnection,SqlCommandetc. classes from ADO.NET in .NET 6 - no problem. There are tons of resources showing you how to do this exactly. Make use of theMicrosoft.Data.SqlClientnuget package - see this article as a starting point
