In VB.NET, how do I do the following?
Execute a Stored Procedure
Read through the DataTable returned

Answer 1

At the top of your .vb file:
Imports System.data.sqlclient
Within your code:
'Setup SQL Command
Dim CMD as new sqlCommand("StoredProcedureName")
CMD.parameters("#Parameter1", sqlDBType.Int).value = Param_1_value
Dim connection As New SqlConnection(connectionString)
CMD.Connection = connection
CMD.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
Dim adapter As New SqlDataAdapter(CMD)
adapter.SelectCommand.CommandTimeout = 300
'Fill the dataset
Dim DS as DataSet
adapter.Fill(ds)
connection.Close()
'Now, read through your data:
For Each DR as DataRow in DS.Tables(0).rows
Msgbox("The value in Column ""ColumnName1"": " & cstr(DR("ColumnName1")))
next
Now that the basics are out of the way,
I highly recommend abstracting the actual SqlCommand Execution out into a function.
Here is a generic function that I use, in some form, on various projects:
''' <summary>Executes a SqlCommand on the Main DB Connection. Usage: Dim ds As DataSet = ExecuteCMD(CMD)</summary>'''
''' <param name="CMD">The command type will be determined based upon whether or not the commandText has a space in it. If it has a space, it is a Text command ("select ... from .."),'''
''' otherwise if there is just one token, it's a stored procedure command</param>''''
Function ExecuteCMD(ByRef CMD As SqlCommand) As DataSet
Dim connectionString As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("main").ConnectionString
Dim ds As New DataSet()
Try
Dim connection As New SqlConnection(connectionString)
CMD.Connection = connection
'Assume that it's a stored procedure command type if there is no space in the command text. Example: "sp_Select_Customer" vs. "select * from Customers"
If CMD.CommandText.Contains(" ") Then
CMD.CommandType = CommandType.Text
Else
CMD.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
End If
Dim adapter As New SqlDataAdapter(CMD)
adapter.SelectCommand.CommandTimeout = 300
'fill the dataset
adapter.Fill(ds)
connection.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
' The connection failed. Display an error message.
Throw New Exception("Database Error: " & ex.Message)
End Try
Return ds
End Function
Once you have that, your SQL Execution + reading code is very simple:
'----------------------------------------------------------------------'
Dim CMD As New SqlCommand("GetProductName")
CMD.Parameters.Add("#productID", SqlDbType.Int).Value = ProductID
Dim DR As DataRow = ExecuteCMD(CMD).Tables(0).Rows(0)
MsgBox("Product Name: " & cstr(DR(0)))
'----------------------------------------------------------------------'

From MSDN
To execute a stored procedure returning rows programmatically using a command object
Dim sqlConnection1 As New SqlConnection("Your Connection String")
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand
Dim reader As SqlDataReader
cmd.CommandText = "StoredProcedureName"
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
cmd.Connection = sqlConnection1
sqlConnection1.Open()
reader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
' Data is accessible through the DataReader object here.
' Use Read method (true/false) to see if reader has records and advance to next record
' You can use a While loop for multiple records (While reader.Read() ... End While)
If reader.Read() Then
someVar = reader(0)
someVar2 = reader(1)
someVar3 = reader("NamedField")
End If
sqlConnection1.Close()

Answer 3

Simplest way? It works. :)
Dim queryString As String = "Stor_Proc_Name " & data1 & "," & data2
Try
Using connection As New SqlConnection(ConnStrg)
connection.Open()
Dim command As New SqlCommand(queryString, connection)
Dim reader As SqlDataReader = command.ExecuteReader()
Dim DTResults As New DataTable
DTResults.Load(reader)
MsgBox(DTResults.Rows(0)(0).ToString)
End Using
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("Error while executing .. " & ex.Message, "")
Finally
End Try

Answer 4

Dim sqlConnection1 As New SqlConnection("Your Connection String")
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand
cmd.CommandText = "StoredProcedureName"
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
cmd.Connection = sqlConnection1
sqlConnection1.Open()
Dim adapter As System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
Dim dsdetailwk As New DataSet
Try
adapter = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
adapter.SelectCommand = cmd
adapter.Fill(dsdetailwk, "delivery")
Catch Err As System.Exception
End Try
sqlConnection1.Close()
datagridview1.DataSource = dsdetailwk.Tables(0)

My Stored Procedure Requires 2 Parameters and I needed my function to return a datatable here is 100% working code
Please make sure that your procedure return some rows
Public Shared Function Get_BillDetails(AccountNumber As String) As DataTable
Try
Connection.Connect()
debug.print("Look up account number " & AccountNumber)
Dim DP As New SqlDataAdapter("EXEC SP_GET_ACCOUNT_PAYABLES_GROUP '" & AccountNumber & "' , '" & 08/28/2013 &"'", connection.Con)
Dim DST As New DataSet
DP.Fill(DST)
Return DST.Tables(0)
Catch ex As Exception
Return Nothing
End Try
End Function
