SqlCommand Class

The SqlCommand class in ADO.Net allows .NET applications to execute SQL statements against a SQL Server database. It provides constructors to initialize a command with or without a connection, and methods like ExecuteReader, ExecuteNonQuery, and ExecuteScalar to execute queries and retrieve results. ExecuteReader is used for queries returning multiple rows, ExecuteNonQuery for INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE, and ExecuteScalar for queries returning a single value. The CommandText, Connection, and CommandType properties help configure the SQL command.
