2. using System.Data.SqlClient;  
3. namespace AdoNetConsoleApplication  
4. {  
5.     class Program  
6.     {  
7.         static void Main(string[] args)  
8.         {  
9.             new Program().CreateTable();  
10.         }  
11.         public void CreateTable()  
12.         {  
13.             SqlConnection con = null;  
14.             try  
15.             {  
16.                 // Creating Connection  
17.                 con = new SqlConnection("data source=.; database=stude
nt; integrated security=SSPI");  
18.                 // writing sql query  
19.                 SqlCommand cm = new SqlCommand("select * from stude
nt", con);  
20.                 // Opening Connection  
21.                 con.Open();  
22.                 // Executing the SQL query
