Just started learning Dapper. I have an ADO.NET background. Using a demo I downloaded, I can insert/delete data from a webform into a MySql table just fine. This, however, I have searched all morning on.
In retrieving a single row from the db by ID, it doesn't return a LIST<>, it seems to be just an object (using code from the demo I downloaded). The query works, I get the object back. It has the fields: "ProductID, Description and Price".
The only way I could get the values to those three fields was like this:
System.Reflection.PropertyInfo pi = Product.GetType().GetProperty("ProductID");
System.Reflection.PropertyInfo desc = Product.GetType().GetProperty("Description");
System.Reflection.PropertyInfo price = Product.GetType().GetProperty("Price");
int _ProductID = (int)(pi.GetValue(Product, null));
string _Description = (string)(desc.GetValue(Product, null));
decimal _Price = (decimal)(price.GetValue(Product, null));
This works and gets the correct values for the three fields.
I'm used to looping through DataTables, but I just think there is probably a better way to get those values.
Is this the correct way to do this or am I missing something? I did actually read documentation and mess with this all morning before asking, too.
Some of the things I looked at seem to be very complex. I thought Dapper was supposed to simplify things.
