Question

I’m using this code and while I run my code I got an error.

Incorrect Syntax near where clause.

This is my C# code:

SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Data Source=ANURAG-PC;Initial Catalog=dbPortal;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=yyyy;Password=xxxxx");

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{
   if (IsPostBack == false)
   {
       string s = Request.QueryString["cat"];
       string s1 = Request.QueryString["sub"];

       SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select * from Architect where where SubCategory1 = @sub1",con);
       cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@sub1", s1);

       con.Open();

       using (SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
       {
           DataTable dat = new DataTable("tab");
           dat.Load(reader);
           DataGrid1.DataSource = dat;
           DataGrid1.DataBind();
       }
    }
}

Whats wrong in it?

Answer 1

Look at the query – you have where where there. There should only be one where:

SqlCommand cmd = 
    new SqlCommand("Select * from Architect where where SubCategory1=@sub1",con);

Should be:

SqlCommand cmd = 
    new SqlCommand("Select * from Architect where SubCategory1=@sub1",con);
