if need simple sql query can use example:

using system; using system.data.sqlclient;  class program { static void main() {     //     // name trying match.     //     string dogname = "fido";     //     // use preset string connection , open it.     //     string connectionstring = consoleapplication1.properties.settings.default.connectionstring;     using (sqlconnection connection = new sqlconnection(connectionstring))     {         connection.open();         //         // description of sql command:         // 1. selects cells rows matching name.         // 2. uses operator because name text field.         // 3. @name must added new sqlparameter.         //         using (sqlcommand command = new sqlcommand("select count(*) dogs1 name @name", connection))         {             //             // add new sqlparameter command.             //             command.parameters.add(new sqlparameter("name", dogname));             //             // read in select results.             //             sqldatareader reader = command.executereader();             while (reader.read())             {                 int count = reader[0];             }              // call close when done reading.             reader.close();         }     } } } 

keep in mind you'll need find out connectionstring database. depend on database have can use google find out how it.
