Question

In my ASP.Net webpage, I have a label and need the label’s text to be retrieved from my database.

I have no problem writing to my database, but it seems trying to retieve the data again is a mission…

What I need is to get the data from the Price column in my database, from the table Tickets, from the record where the ConcertName data is the same as my webpage’s title, or a string associated with my webpage.

I have tried many tutorials already, but all just throw me errors, so I decided to try one last place before I just give in and make my labels static.

In case it helps, I have tried the following:

First Try

Second Try

Third Try

Fourth Try

Hopes you use c#

string MyPageTitle="MyPageTitle"; // your page title here
string myConnectionString = "connectionstring"; //you connectionstring goes here

SqlCommand cmd= new SqlCommand("select Price from Tickets where ConcertName ='" + MyPageTitle.Replace("'","''") + "'" , new SqlConnection(myConnectionString));
cmd.Connection.Open();
labelPrice.Text= cmd.ExecuteScalar().ToString(); // assign to your label
cmd.Connection.Close();
