Hi David,
You can use the following code as an example :
string lastname; string firstname; string connectionString = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MainDbSource"].ToString(); string queryString = "SELECT [LASTNAME],[FIRSTNAME] FROM [USERS] WHERE USERNAME = '" + USERNAME + "'"; using(System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection sqlConnection = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString)) { System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand command = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(queryString, sqlConnection); sqlConnection.Open(); using (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader()) { while (reader.Read()){ lastname = reader.GetString(0); firstname = reader.GetString(0); } } }
