Here, give this a shot (this is just a pseudocode)
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
public class PullDataTest
{
// your data table
private DataTable dataTable = new DataTable();
// your method to pull data from database to datatable
public void PullData()
{
string connString = @"your connection string here";
string query = "select * from table";
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, conn);
conn.Open();
// create data adapter
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
// this will query your database and return the result to your datatable
da.Fill(dataTable);
conn.Close();
da.Dispose();
}
}
