OleDbDataReader retrieve specific row values (CSHTML)

168 views Asked by At

I'm trying to pull values out of a reader in a particular order. I have a number of reps and need to group them together into their regions so I can sub total them.

I have a connection to a local mdb, which works fine for the time being. And in other places I loop the reader to get data out. Like so...

   var thisConnection = new OleDbConnection(@"Provider = Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source = C:\SALES.mdb");
thisConnection.Open();
var thisCommand = thisConnection.CreateCommand();
thisCommand.CommandText = "SELECT `Rep Name`, Sum(`Budget`) AS xyValues_Bud FROM `Invoices` GROUP BY `Rep Name`;";
OleDbDataReader thisReader = thisCommand.ExecuteReader();

.....

@while(thisReader.Read())
{
   @thisReader["Rep Name"] <text>,</text> @thisReader["xyValues_Bud "] 
}

However I want to pull these out in an order so lets say... SouthRep, EastRep, WestRep, NorthRep

So I need something like...

@thisReader["Rep Name"] = "SouthRep" {<text>SouthRep,</text> @thisReader["xyValues_Bud "] }
@thisReader["Rep Name"] = "EastRep" {<text>EastRep,</text> @thisReader["xyValues_Bud "] }
....

I've thought about creating a loop and just picking out the entries I want but there must be a simpler way.

Thank you
