Ramesh Palanivel · Answer

Try this, using (DbCommand cmd = new CommandBuilder().SetCommandText(string.Format(@"insert into wdccache values ('{0}' ,'{1}', '{2}','{3}')", ID, Exptime, filepath, Key)) .SetCommandType(CommandType.Text) .ToDbCommand()) { var reader = cmd.ExecuteReader() { while (reader.Read()) { if (DateTime.Compare(Exptime, DateTime.UtcNow) { wDCTableData = new WDCTableData { key = reader.GetValue ("Key"), Exptime = reader.GetValue ("ExpirationDate"), filepath = reader.GetValue ("Filepath") }; } } } }

is this correct way read column data var cmd1 = new .Data.CommandBuilder().SetCommandText(string.Format("select * from wdccache where [Key] = '{0}'", Key)).SetCommandType(CommandType.Text).ToDbCommand(); using (var reader = cmd1.ExecuteReader()) { if (DateTime.Compare(Exptime, DateTime.UtcNow) { wDCTableData = new WDCTableData { key = reader["Key"].ToString(), Exptime = (DateTime)reader["ExpirationDate"], filepath = reader["Filepath"].ToString() }; }

Hi Nageshwar, Just remove the Using in that "var reader" Method

Gnanavel Sekar · Answer

You need to close your reader connection. Note that while a DataReader is open, the Connection is in use exclusively by that DataReader. You cannot execute any commands for the Connection, including creating another DataReader, until the original DataReader is closed. Example: string queryString = "SELECT OrderID, CustomerID FROM dbo.Orders;"; using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString)) { SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(queryString, connection); connection.Open(); SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader(); // Call Read before accessing data. while (reader.Read()) { Console.WriteLine(String.Format("{0}, {1}", reader[0], reader[1])); } // Call Close when done reading. reader.Close(); Refer More Links for your answer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18475195/error-there-is-already-an-open-datareader-associated-with-this-command-which-mu http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6062192/there-is-already-an-open-datareader-associated-with-this-command-which-must-be-c https://www.codeproject.com/questions/616154/there-is-already-an-open-datareader-associated-wit http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6062192/there-is-already-an-open-datareader-associated-with-this-command-which-must-be-c

Is this correct var cmd = new Data.CommandBuilder().SetCommandText(string.Format(@"insert into wdccache values ('{0}' ,'{1}', '{2}','{3}')", ID, Exptime, filepath, Key)) .SetCommandType(CommandType.Text) .ToDbCommand(); var cmd1 = new Data.CommandBuilder().SetCommandText(string.Format("select * from wdccache")) .SetCommandType(CommandType.Text) .ToDbCommand(); using (var reader = cmd1.ExecuteReader()) { if (DateTime.Compare(Exptime, DateTime.UtcNow) { wDCTableData = new WDCTableData { key = reader.GetValue ("Key"), Exptime = reader.GetValue ("ExpirationDate"), filepath = reader.GetValue ("Filepath") }; }

Hi Nageshwar, The issue is you are trying to execute your command in another using statement, change code like, DbDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader() inside first using statement

Nagu · Answer

Like this using (DbCommand cmd = new CommandBuilder().SetCommandText(string.Format(@"insert into wdccache values ('{0}' ,'{1}', '{2}','{3}')", ID, Exptime, filepath, Key)) .SetCommandType(CommandType.Text) .ToDbCommand()) { using (DbDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader()) { while (reader.Read()) { if (DateTime.Compare(Exptime, DateTime.UtcNow) { wDCTableData = new WDCTableData { key = reader.GetValue ("Key"), Exptime = reader.GetValue ("ExpirationDate"), filepath = reader.GetValue ("Filepath") }; } } } }
