Connecting to an Oracle View

Question

Hi,
The Oracle DB has a view and I'm trying to connect a DataGrid to it. Can anyone get me a sample for doing this through code? I've worked on calling stored procs but not really sure on a view.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks !

Hi,
Since you;re not very specific about your requirement, then try this as a start. This sample code is an ASP.NET using ODAC 11g which connect to Oracle XE database, and then display Employees table. Just change the table name to your view name.
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        string cnstr = "Data Source=//localhost/xe;User ID=hr;Password=hr";
        string sqlstr = "select * from employees";
        DataSet ds = new DataSet();
        // retrieve data
        using (OracleDataAdapter da = new OracleDataAdapter(sqlstr, cnstr))
            da.Fill(ds, "employees");
        // bind to datagrid
        GridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables["employees"];
        GridView1.DataBind();
    }Cheers,
