Create another command object for running the insert:

You need to re-structure the code to close the first datareader before
starting using another one on the same connection. Only one request can be
served at the time and untill the first reader closes it won't let anyone
else to run.

You can't use the connection for running queries while it's used by the
data reader.

Why don't you do this in a single query?

"insert into mytable (field1) select pcnt from pc where lokl='" & w & "';"

Not sure why you want to loop to do this, as this can all be done on the SQL
side, with a temp table, unless you are persisting the answers for a long
time. Even with a permanent table, you can clear the table before rerunning
this operation. If you need to know which number the record is, you can use
an IDENTITY field, in SQL Server (have to work from DUAL in Oracle) or
autonumber in Access.

This is the proc in SQL Server:

CREATE PROCEDURE TestProc
(
@w int -- Not sure of type here
)
AS

INSERT INTO MyTable (pcnr)
SELECT pcnr FROM pc
WHERE lokl = @w

SELECT @@COUNT

You now can use the return value for count and run the insert on all records
at the same time. The syntax is much easier.

1. Set up connection
2. Set up command
3. Set command as CommandType.Sto redProcedure
4. Run ExecuteScalar on Command and retrieve count of records changed

Very effficient and much easier to manage.

Good morning Bart,

You used the same connection for more than one data readers and I guess
you're not using MARS - Multiple Active Result Sets (which is supported by
SQL Server 2005 only), therefore, once reader is executed, connection is
assigned to it exclusively - to release the connection, you have to close
connection or reader. In addition to that, there is not point to make things
complex and inefficient (shooting database many times in the loop as you’ve
presented in the posted code snipped). It’s very easy to build the query that
does exactly the same thing, but in one roundtrip:

sql = "INSERT INTO mytable (field1) SELECT pcnr FROM pc WHERE lokl = @lokl"

comd = new SqlCommand(sql, oConnection)
comd.Parameters .Add("@lokl", SqlDbType.NVarC har).Value = w

try
oConnection.Ope n()
comd.ExecuteNon Query();
catch ex as Exception
throw ex
finally
oConnection.Clo se()
end try

Done. Hope this helps

Thanks to all ...

But in fact, it's not so simple, because there are other parameters needed.
What i try to do is:

sql = "INSERT INTO studres (logon, dag, uur, type, pcnr) SELECT [lol] ,
[dag], [uur],'l', pcnr FROM pc where lokl='" & w & "';"
comd = New SqlCommand(sql, oConnection)
comd.Parameters .AddWithValue("[lol]", lol)
comd.Parameters .AddWithValue("[dag]", tda)
comd.Parameters .AddWithValue("[uur]", vv)
comd.ExecuteNon Query()

but this gives the error:"Incorrec t syntax near 'nvarchar'.

In sql server, field login is nvarchar(25), field dag is Datetime and field
uur is int

Specify the data type for the parameters.
Example:

comd.Parameters .Add("@lol", SqlDbType.NVarC har. 25).Value = lol

Parameters are named using @. Square brackets are used to specify that a
string is a name. It's used for names with non-alphanumeric characters,
like [current-price], or names that are keywords, like [from].
