Dataset table row count in SQL Server

The DataSet contains copy of the data we requested through the SQL statement. The DataSet consists of DataTableCollection and their DataRelationCollection. The DataTableCollection contains zero or more DataTable objects. The data set may comprise data for one or more members, corresponding to the number of rows. The following VB.NET source code shows how to find the number of rows in a table that resides in the Dataset.






Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim connetionString As String
        Dim connection As SqlConnection
        Dim command As SqlCommand
        Dim adapter As New SqlDataAdapter
        Dim ds As New DataSet
        Dim sql As String

		connetionString = "Data Source=ServerName;Initial Catalog=DatabaseName;User ID=UserName;Password=Password"
		sql = "Your SQL Statement Here"
        connection = New SqlConnection(connetionString)

        Try
            connection.Open()
            command = New SqlCommand(sql, connection)
            adapter.SelectCommand = command
            adapter.Fill(ds, "SQL Temp Table")
            adapter.Dispose()
            command.Dispose()
            connection.Close()

            MsgBox("Number of row(s)  -  " & ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count)

        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox("Can not open connection ! ")
        End Try
    End Sub
End Class

connetionString = "Data Source=ServerName;Initial Catalog=DatabaseName;User ID=UserName;Password=Password"
sql = "Your SQL Statement Here"

You have to replace the string with your real time variables.
