Add SQL query on button using C#

I created a Windows Forms application in C# and my database in Visual Studio. I want to know how, if it's possible, to sort one of the columns in the table by clicking a button? Or how can I sort this column automatically without using a button?
I've tried to implement this sort in the code below, but it doesn't work :(
private c void button5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SqlConnection sqlConnection = new SqlConnection("Here is my connecting string");
SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM [Information] ORDER BY (Перевозчик)", sqlConnection);
sqlConnection.Open();
myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
}

As found here: https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_orderby.asp
Sine we don't know what you want to oder we can only guess here.
But with the query you could try:
SELECT column1, column2, ...
FROM table_name
ORDER BY column1, column2, ... ASC
In your case:
"SELECT * FROM [Information] ORDER BY (Перевозчик) ASC"
Best would be to use the visual query builder where you can query against your database. When you are happy with your result you can at least be sure that the query is correct.
How you can do that is explained here:
https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/connect-to-a-database-from-visual-studio/
Since the sqlconnection and the sqlcommand is disposable you should consider putting it in a using tag, like in this example.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.data.sqlclient.sqlcommand?view=netframework-4.8
private static void ReadOrderData(string connectionString)
{
string queryString =
"SELECT OrderID, CustomerID FROM dbo.Orders;";
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(
connectionString))
{
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(
queryString, connection);
connection.Open();
using(SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader())
{
while (reader.Read())
{
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0}, {1}",
reader[0], reader[1]));
}
}
}
}
There is 2 way for sort data
1) sorting just data and fill into grid:
DataGridView datagridview1 = new DataGridView(); // for show data
DataTable dt1 = new DataTable(); // have data
DataTable dt2 = new DataTable(); // temp data table
DataRow[] dra = dt1.Select("", "ID DESC");
if (dra.Length > 0)
dt2 = dra.CopyToDataTable();
datagridview1.DataSource = dt2;
2) sort default view that is like of sort with grid column header:
DataGridView datagridview1 = new DataGridView(); // for show data
DataTable dt1 = new DataTable(); // have data
dt1.DefaultView.Sort = "ID DESC";
datagridview1.DataSource = dt1;
I found this solution here:
Sorting rows in a data table
For a listbox you could give this a shot
ArrayList q = new ArrayList();
foreach (object o in listBox4.Items)
q.Add(o);
}
q.Sort();
listBox5.Items.Clear();
foreach(object o in q){
listBox5.Items.Add(o);
}
I found this solution here:
Sorting a list of items in a list box

You need to do ExecuteDatareader then process the result coming from this call. ExecuteNonQuery cannot be used to retrieve data.

SQL Server distinct connection to database in C#

I am trying to drop down box in design but in database table category has duplicates. I tried to execute by using below code. But it is not executing. It just receiving all commands which I have been changes in properties:
cmd.CommandText = #"Select Distinct Category_Desc from
Database***name order
by Category_Desc";
adapter.SelectCommand = cmd;
SqlDataReader dr1 = cmd.ExecuteReader();
dr1.Read();
comboBoxCategory.ValueMember = "Category_Desc";
comboBoxCategory.DisplayMember = "Category_Desc";
comboBoxCategory.DataSource = dr1;
dr1.Dispose();
Can anyone please help how to execute distinct query from the code?

Data reader is a forward only cursor that you have to iterate and close after the last item.Look at this code segment
SqlDataReader dr1= command.ExecuteReader();
ArrayList arl= new ArrayList();
while (dr1.Read())
{
arl.Add(dr1("Category_Desc"));
}
dr1.close();
//If its a winform project use this
string [] str = al.ToArray(typeof(string));
FarPoint.Win.Spread.ComboBoxCellType cb = new
FarPoint.Win.Spread.ComboBoxCellType();
cb.Items = arl;

Use the adapter to fill a DataTable instead. You already have the adapter and it already has the SelectCommand assigned.
adapter.SelectCommand = cmd;
System.Data.DataTable dtCategories = new System.Data.DataTable();
adapter.Fill(dtCategories);
comboBoxCategory.ValueMember = "Category_Desc";
comboBoxCategory.DisplayMember = "Category_Desc";
comboBoxCategory.DataSource = dtCategories;

Populate Devexpress GridView using a DataAdapter and SqlCommand in code

I have a little problem with populating my DevExpress Gridview, I want to have a two level gridview and using SqlCommand. At first I created a Dataset and added two tables and also defined relation for them. But it does not work. Can you help me find my problem?
Here is my code
string owner = "SELECT [OBJECTID],[Name] ,[Family] ,[Father] ,[Dftarche] ,[Birthday] ,[education] ,[home_address] ,[farm_address] ,[ensurance] ,[phone] ,[home_number] ,[owner_id] FROM [dbo].[OWNER]";
string property = "SELECT [number] ,[owner_ID] ,[GPSId] ,[Energy],[corp_type] ,[Pool],[irrigation] ,[variety] ,[trees] ,[utilizat] ,[address] ,[water_hour] ,[w_source] ,[w_inche],[w_dore],[NoeMalekiat],[MotevasetBardasht],[Area] ,[OBJECTID],[Shape] FROM [dbo].[Property] ";
string strConnString = Properties.Settings.Default.land_gisConnectionString;
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(strConnString);
con.Open();
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(owner, con);
SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter();
System.Data.DataSet dsMain = new System.Data.DataSet();
adapter.SelectCommand = command;
adapter.Fill(dsMain, "First Table");
adapter.SelectCommand.CommandText = property;
adapter.Fill(dsMain, "Second Table");
dsMain.Tables.Add(iFeatureSet.DataTable.Copy());
adapter.Dispose();
command.Dispose();
DataRelation newRelation = new DataRelation("املاک شخصی", dsMain.Tables["First Table"].Columns["owner_id"], dsMain.Tables["Second Table"].Columns["owner_ID"]);
dsMain.Relations.Add(newRelation);
GridAttrebuteTable.DataSource = dsMain.Tables[2];
// gridView5.DataSource = dsMain.Tables[1];
dataGridView1.DataSource = dsMain;
I searched and found this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bh8kx08z.aspx and it seems my code is right but it does not show anything in grids
Thank you very much for your help
I Could figure out how to fix it.It works fine now(Above Code is edited) but now If I add a new DataTable I do not know why it does not work again

You need a new GridView for each detail table. You can't display both a master and detail in the same GridView.
Try this example

DataAdapter Update issue

The following coding doesn't update my table. But rows variable value is 1 after updating.
I cannot understand what is the cause behind this. Please help.
SqlConnection connection1 = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
connection1.Open();
var wktbl = new DataTable();
var cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM Test", connection1);
var da1 = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
var b = new SqlCommandBuilder(da1);
da1.Fill(wktbl);
wktbl.Rows[0][2] = "5";
da1.UpdateCommand = b.GetUpdateCommand(true);
int rows = da1.Update(wktbl);

Check this page out. It shows the example below of doing an update with the dataadapter.
The following examples demonstrate how to perform updates to modified rows by explicitly setting the UpdateCommand of a DataAdapter and calling its Update method. Notice that the parameter specified in the WHERE clause of the UPDATE statement is set to use the Original value of the SourceColumn. This is important, because the Current value may have been modified and may not match the value in the data source. The Original value is the value that was used to populate the DataTable from the data source.
private static void AdapterUpdate(string connectionString)
{
using (SqlConnection connection =
new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
SqlDataAdapter dataAdpater = new SqlDataAdapter(
"SELECT CategoryID, CategoryName FROM Categories",
connection);
dataAdpater.UpdateCommand = new SqlCommand(
"UPDATE Categories SET CategoryName = #CategoryName " +
"WHERE CategoryID = #CategoryID", connection);
dataAdpater.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add(
"#CategoryName", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 15, "CategoryName");
SqlParameter parameter = dataAdpater.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add(
"#CategoryID", SqlDbType.Int);
parameter.SourceColumn = "CategoryID";
parameter.SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original;
DataTable categoryTable = new DataTable();
dataAdpater.Fill(categoryTable);
DataRow categoryRow = categoryTable.Rows[0];
categoryRow["CategoryName"] = "New Beverages";
dataAdpater.Update(categoryTable);
Console.WriteLine("Rows after update.");
foreach (DataRow row in categoryTable.Rows)
{
{
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", row[0], row[1]);
}
}
}
}

I found the problem. It's because connectionString has |DataDirectory|.
The MDF file location is different when running the application.

Putting the Information from a SQL Query into a DataGridView

What would be the best way to display the results of this SQL statement:
select "WorkOrder"."WorkOrderID", "Customer"."FirstName", "Vehicles"."Model", "WorkOrder"."State"
from "WorkOrder", "Customer", "Vehicles"
WHERE "WorkOrder"."VIN" = "Vehicles"."VIN"
AND "Vehicles"."CustomerID" = "Customer"."CustomerID"
AND "WorkOrder"."State" = 'In Progress';
I am using C# WinForms with Visual Studio 2010. I can't quite seem to figure out how to put it in a DataGridView or something similar. Is there any way to do or cheat it into a DataGridView?

Easiest way would be put in a DataTable and assing it to .DataSource property like;
string command = #"select "WorkOrder"."WorkOrderID", "Customer"."FirstName", "Vehicles"."Model", "WorkOrder"."State" from "WorkOrder", "Customer", "Vehicles" WHERE "WorkOrder"."VIN" = "Vehicles"."VIN" AND "Vehicles"."CustomerID" = "Customer"."CustomerID" AND "WorkOrder"."State" = 'In Progress'";
using(SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
using(SqlCommand command = conn.CreateCommand())
{
command.Connection = conn;
using(SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter())
{
adapter.SelectCommand = command;
DataTable table = new DataTable();
adapter.Fill(table);
DataGridview1.DataSource = table;
DataGridview1.AutoGenerateColumns = true;
}
}
