Recommended way to execute a query and store in a DataSet

[K Viltersten]

Today, i run the code below and while it
works, i can't stop wondering if it can
be performed in a better way. Especially,
i'd like to know if the declaration of
the adapter is neccessary.

SqlCommand command =
new SqlCommand("MyStorProc", Connection);
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
foreach (String key in form.Keys)
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@" + key, form[key]);
Connection.Open();
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(command);
DataSet data = new DataSet();
adapter.Fill(data);
Connection.Close();

Can i pull the data directly from command
and if so, how?

There are two mode of connecting to a database in ADO.Net

I think connected model does not required a dataAdapter, however a
disconnected model requires one..

ADO.Net architecture is best explained at

perticularly when you do a ExecuteNonQuery(), it is connected model as
it retrives only a scalar value from the database.

You need some way to retrieve the data so either the Sqldataadapter,
or a Sqldatareader.
Maybe from the command object you can to execute reader
Unless you are returning all your data through out parameters.
I don't think you need command.ExecuteNonQuery(); either for this.

Right. And i noticed also that i didn't need
to open or close the connetion either. That
was a surprise, though...
