Question

I’m having an issue with outputting results from a list into strings and getting the ‘input string was not in a correct format.

objConn = New SqlConnection(strConnection)
    objConn.Open()
    objCmd = New SqlCommand(strSQL, objConn)
    rsData = objCmd.ExecuteReader(0)

    If rsData.HasRows Then

        Do While (rsData.Read())

            SubjectNames.Add(rsData.GetString("Subject"))

        Loop

    End If

    rsData.Close()
    objConn.Close()

    Dim first As String = SubjectNames(0)
    Dim second As String = SubjectNames(1)



    html += "<p>" & first & "</p>"
    html += "<p>" & second & "</p>"

Now I’m getting the error on the adding to the list line, the subject field in the SP is an all text field and should return a subject name.

Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong(again!)

Thanks!

Answer 1

Give column index of the row instead of column name .

SubjectNames.Add(rsData.GetString(ColumnIndex)) // 0 or 1 or 2

hope this helps

Since GetString() function will accept only index not column name
