Now I need a way to check to see if it's working for sure, can I assign it to a text box and have it show me the number of rows affected?

That I did read and I used that in the code:

SQLCmd = New SqlCommand("StandardNamesCount", SQLCon)
        SQLCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
        SQLCmd.ExecuteReader()

But that's when I couldn't figure out how to copy it to the clipboard from there, or if it would even copy in a gridview type style like I'm trying to do.

Then I also did the gridview method and had it fill, but again, no idea how to copy the contents from there.
