Hi,

1. Does this seem to you to be the right Newsgroup to ask this question
? I would have suggested "microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.adonet".
2. Is there supposed to be a difference between the Message Subject and
the Message body ? Isn't the Message Subject supposed to be abbreviated
?
3. As for your question :
I strongly doubt if your VS.NET can be called "outdated", even if it is
VS 2002, using Framework version 1.0.3705.

I think you should be using SqlDataReader.GetString() and not
ToString(). As in rdr[0].GetString()

The problem is probably with the way you're calling your methods, or
with SQL Server database. Is the database located on a main server ?

Lots of questions for you !

Regards,

Cerebrus.
