BLToolkit sql query set explicitly

Question

Is there any way how to get a SQL query result from a bltoolkit? I need to set the query explicitly..

for example:

SELECT * FROM table

thanks

Yes. The DbManager class contains some appropriate methods: ExecuteList, ExecuteReader, ExecuteObject, ExecuteDataTable, SetSpCommand, etc. See there:http://bltoolkit.net/Doc.Data.ashx

Sample:

[MapField("PersonID", "ID")]
public class Person
{
public int    ID;

public string LastName;
public string FirstName;
public string MiddleName;
public Gender Gender;
}

IList<Person> GetPersonListSqlText()
{
using (DbManager db = new DbManager())
{
return db
.SetCommand("SELECT * FROM Person")
.ExecuteList<Person>();
}
}
