i'm still a n00b to but i'll try to answer your problem. just correct me if i'm wrong.

i think u need a data reader to read the data n dataset to get the data

for more explanation go to this site ( i know this site from other thread in this forum )

Your code is fine until

Code:

---

command.ExecuteNonQuery()

---

Because that specifies nothing returned (just the number of rows affected).

You want to use

Code:

---

string strResult = command.ExecuteScalar()

---

ya fine menthak,

I got that.

Thanks for ur time

I'm not really convinced that the SELECT command would work, because it's missing a few things... look at this command straight from one of my projects. Shouldn't be hard to figure out what yours is missing.

Code:

---

"SELECT [ID], [strName] FROM [tblProductLine] ORDER BY [strName]"

---

Seems fine to me.
