Repository Contents

This repo maintains 2 projects. The main library and a demo project to implement it

PreRequesties

Before running the demo program

1. Create a table named tblUsers
2. Create 3 columns Id, Fname and Lname
3. Set the connection string to database server inside Main()

Usage

C# POCO Model building. The model should be decorated with Dapper.Contrib attributes for proper working. Here is an example

using Dapper.Contrib.Extensions;

namespace Demo
{
    [Table("tblUser")]
    public class tblUser
    {
        [Key]
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string FName { get; set; }
        public string LName { get; set; }
        [Computed]
        public string Fullname { get; set; }
    }
}

Insert a model

var record = new tblUser {
	Id = 1,
	FName = "Sangeeth",
	LName = "Nandakumar"
};
var primaryKey = SqlHelper.Insert < tblUser > (record, _connectionString);

Update a model

record = new tblUser {
	Id = 1,
	FName = "Navaneeth",
	LName = "Nandakumar"
};
var isUpdated = SqlHelper.Update < tblUser > (record, _connectionString);

Run a query

var sql1 = $ "SELECT * FROM tblUser WHERE Id=1";
var result = SqlHelper.Query < tblUser > (sql1, _connectionString).FirstOrDefault();

Run a safe query (Parameterised query)

var sql2 = $ "SELECT * FROM tblUser WHERE Id=@id AND Fname=@fname";
result = SqlHelper.QuerySafe < tblUser > (sql2, new {
	id = 1,
	fname = "Navaneeth"
},
_connectionString);

Run a stored procedure

var procedureName = $ "spGetUsers";
result = SqlHelper.Execute < tblUser > (procedureName, new {
	id = 1
},
_connectionString).FirstOrDefault();
