0	First add a reference to System.Configuration string conString = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["LocalSqlServer"].ConnectionString; DataTable dt = new DataTable(); using (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection con = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(conString)) { using (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand cmd = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand()) { cmd.Connection = con; cmd.CommandText = @"select * from nikhil[TABLENAME] where name=@Name"; cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text; cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Name", "Tamhankar"); con.Open(); using (SqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader()) { dt.Load(rdr); } } } // Now you can use this datatable dt Nikhilst05, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

First add a reference to System.Configuration

string conString = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["LocalSqlServer"].ConnectionString;

                DataTable dt = new DataTable();

                using (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection con = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(conString))

                {

                    using (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand cmd = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand())

                    {

                        cmd.Connection = con;

                        cmd.CommandText = @"select *  from nikhil[TABLENAME] where name=@Name";

                        cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;

                        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Name", "Tamhankar");

                        con.Open();

                        

                        using (SqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader())

                        {

                            dt.Load(rdr);

                        }

                    }
