cmdcommand.Parameters["ReturnValue"].Value return an object. you can not
compare objects to numbers. if you know the type of the return value, then
you can cast it, and do the compare

if ( (int) cmdcommand.Parameters["ReturnValue"].Value == 1)

this will throw an error is the parameter is no really an int.
