aspx_beginners thread: PageCount?


Message #1 by "Paul Riley" <rilez@t...> on Tue, 29 Oct 2002 12:09:56 -0000
I have recently started developing in aspx from asp. I used the use the
pagecount of a recordset to return the total number of records returned.
I cannot see how to do this in aspx without selecting a count and then
selecting the actual records which is of course inefficient. Anyone
point me in the correct direction :O)?

Paul,

If i understand what you want correctly, and you are using a dataset. Its a
bit distant in my memory now but I think something like

	MyDataset.MyTableName.RecordCount

Should work.

I'm actually using a datareader as the records are stored in a query.

Paul,

A datareader, from my memory, is for reading a text based data file.  A
recordcount being more of a recordset (Database) property.

One way of dealing with your problem (And there are probably better ones !
:o)) is to use the datareader's peek method which looks ahead one line to
discover if there's anything there and can be made to return true or false,
combined with a 'MylineCount++' loop would populate a variable with your
linecount. I don't remember ever using something line a
MyDataReader.linecount.

Message #5 by "Paul Riley" <rilez@t...> on Tue, 29 Oct 2002 13:38:52 -0000
An OLEDBDatareader gets its data from a oledbcommand object which
operates on a oledbconnection object. Therefore it is built for doing
this. I know I can get the row count by literally counting through the
rows but this isn't overly efficient and I really need to make sure that
this one page is as lean as possible. From what I can tell the
method/property that I'm after doesn't exist so I'll just continue
selecting the count first. 

Thanks for the help anyway
