Get the players name and score

Question

What I want to do is use a Data Table to get data from my mySQL to show in a Listbox on my form.

How can I get a players name and score to show up in order of highest score?

So far i managed to get a players name or a players score to show up.

MySqlConnection myConn = new MySqlConnection(connStr);

string sqlStr = "SELECT * FROM highscore";

MySqlDataAdapter dAdapter = new MySqlDataAdapter(sqlStr, myConn);

DataTable dTable = new DataTable();
dAdapter.Fill(dTable);
dAdapter.Dispose();
lstNames.DataSource = dTable;
lstScores.DataSource = dTable;
lstNames.DisplayMember = "Name";

I did try to use two separate list boxes out of ease, but realized i wouldn't be able to arrange them in any order.

Below is after the changes Paul

                 MySqlConnection myConn = new MySqlConnection(connStr);

             string sqlStr = "SELECT Name + ' ' + Score as NameAndScore " + "FROM highscore ORDER BY Score DESC";

             MySqlDataAdapter dAdapter = new MySqlDataAdapter(sqlStr, myConn);

             DataTable dTable = new DataTable();
             dAdapter.Fill(dTable);
             dAdapter.Dispose();
             lstNames.DisplayMember = "NameAndScore";
             lstNames.DataSource = dTable;

Answer 1

You could do quite a bit with your SQL:

MySqlConnection myConn = new MySqlConnection(connStr);

string sqlStr = "SELECT CONCAT(Name, ' ', Score) as NameAndScore " +
                "FROM highscore ORDER BY Score DESC";

MySqlDataAdapter dAdapter = new MySqlDataAdapter(sqlStr, myConn);

DataTable dTable = new DataTable();
dAdapter.Fill(dTable);
dAdapter.Dispose();
lstNames.DisplayMember = "NameAndScore";
lstNames.DataSource = dTable;

Answer 2

Let's suppose that the field that holds the score is 'score', your query could be

string sqlStr = "SELECT * FROM highscore order by score DESC";

Basically You need to order your records in descending order by score. This should be simple

let me know if you have more issues
