database help....

i am facing some kind of bug in my code i dont know.....i have the following code:

VB Code:

dim connection as new sqlConnection("<my connection string>")
connection.open()
dim command as sqlcommand = connection.createcommand()
command.commandtext = "SELECT * FROM commentLog WHERE 'id' LIKE '2b5bd2c4-fb7d-487b-b299-044e6daf0008'"
MessageBox.show(command.executereader()(0).ToString())

i get the following error:
Invalid attempt to read when no data is present.

but if i try putting this code into the sql entreprise manager he returns me a line(the one i want to retrieve) so i dont get it how my code doesnt work and the sql entreprise manager does work.

any help plz?

Try this

Code:

---

dim connection as new sqlConnection("<my connection string>")
connection.open()
dim command as sqlcommand = connection.createcommand()
command.commandtext = "SELECT * FROM commentLog WHERE id LIKE '2b5bd2c4-fb7d-487b-b299-044e6daf0008'"

Dim rd As SqlClient.SqlDataReader
     
rd = command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
rd.Read()
MessageBox.Show(String.Format("{0}", rd.Item(0)))
rd.Close()

---

ah! how dumb..it must be the Read() thing.......tks! ill try it now
