|  | 4 <p class="j">The following example demonstrates how to create and use an abstract data accessor class. | 
|  | 5 All abstract methods of the class are generated at run-time depending on each method declaration. | 
|  | 6 Every part of the method declaration is important. | 
|  | 7 Method's return value specifies one of the Execute methods in the following way: | 
|  | 8 <table class='data'> | 
|  | 9 <tr><th>Return Type</th><th>Execute Method</th></tr> | 
|  | 10 <tr><td><i>IDataReader</i> interface</td><td>ExecuteReader</td></tr> | 
|  | 11 <tr><td>Subclass of <i>DataSet</i></td><td>ExecuteDataSet</td></tr> | 
|  | 12 <tr><td>Subclass of <i>DataTable</i></td><td>ExecuteDataTable</td></tr> | 
|  | 13 <tr><td>Class implementing the <i>IList</i> interface</td><td><a href="ExecuteList.htm">ExecuteList</a> or <a href="ExecuteList.htm">ExecuteScalarList</a></td></tr> | 
|  | 14 <tr><td>Class implementing the <i>IDictionary</i> interface</td><td><a href="ExecuteDictionary.htm">ExecuteDictionary</a> or <a href="ExecuteDictionary.htm">ExecuteScalarDictionary</a></td></tr> | 
|  | 15 <tr><td><i>void</i></td><td>ExecuteNonQuery</td></tr> | 
|  | 16 <tr><td><i>string</i>, <i>byte[]</i> or value type</td><td><a href="ExecuteScalar.htm">ExecuteScalar</a></td></tr> | 
|  | 17 <tr><td>In any other case</td><td><a href="ExecuteObject.htm">ExecuteObject</a></td></tr> | 
|  | 18 </table> | 
|  | 19 Method name explicitly defines action name which is converted to stored procedure name.<br/> | 
|  | 20 Type, sequential order, and name of the method parameters is mapped to the command parameters. | 
|  | 21 Exceptions from this rule are: | 
|  | 22 <br> | 
|  | 23 <div style="margin:-10px 0px -10px -10px"><ul compact="compact"> | 
|  | 24 <li>a parameter of <a href="../Data/index.htm"><i>DbManager</i></a> type. In this case generator uses provided <a href="../Data/index.htm"><i>DbManager</i></a> to call the command.</li> | 
|  | 25 <li>parameters decorated with attribute <i>FormatAttribute</i>.</li> | 
|  | 26 </ul></div> |
