如何使用c＃在组合框中从数据库获取所有表的名称

Question

Im using c# .net windows form application. i have a SQL database with 5 tables. i need to populate a combobox with these table names. only names should be displayed.

Answer 1

Can't know for sure until you specify what you're using, but this is a more or less standard query for retrieving the table names (excluding views) in the current database:

SELECT TABLE_NAME
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'

Answer 2

From MSDN .

SELECT name FROM sys.tables;

Works for SQL Server 2005 and above.
