Reverse lookup for label ctrl.

Aug 3 2004 7:51 AM
I have a summary form used to display records in a database. I need to initiate some sort of reverse lookup for those columns that contain integer data so that the data is meaningful to the user. For instance: Say in the original form, that the user needed to choose a selection of users from a table. code-behind: if(!Page.IsPostBack) { SqlConnection Conn; SqlCommand Cmd; Conn = new SqlConnection("server=C099450d01;uid=sa;pwd=;database=tools"); Cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT UID, LastName + ', ' + FirstName AS Name FROM Employee ORDER BY LastName", Conn); //Creator Conn.Open(); Creator.DataSource = Cmd.ExecuteReader(); Creator.DataTextField = "Name"; Creator.DataValueField = "UID"; Creator.DataBind(); Conn.Close(); } //The summary Label Ctrl. //Code-Behind to populate Ctrl: SqlConnection Conn; SqlCommand Cmd; Conn = new SqlConnection("server=C099450D01;uid=sa;pwd=;database=tools"); Cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT LastName, FirstName from Employee WHERE id = @uid", Conn); Cmd.Parameters.Add("@uid", SqlDbType.Int).Value = Creator.SelectedItem.Value; Conn.Open(); SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader(); if(dr.Read()) Label2.Text = dr.GetString(0) + " " + dr.GetString(1); else Label2.Text = "Not found."; dr.Close(); The problem is that I get an error message saying that my connection is closed. Can someone help me out with this. Thanks alot!! Tim
