Hi George,
How are you doing. As far as I could see he's returning the correct datatype in both C# methods. Actually he should only thouch the SqlConnection in one of his previous threads (below is the code I posted there).

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(
//  "Persist Security Info=False;Integrated Security=SSPI;database=pubs;server=localhost");
 SqlConnection cn = GetConnection();
 cn.Open() ;
 SqlDataReader rdr = new 
  SqlCommand("select * from authors",cn).ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
 while (rdr.Read())
 {
	comboBox1.Items.Add(String.Format("{0},{1}",rdr["au_fname"],rdr["au_lname"]));
 }
 cn.Close();
}

Unfortunately I was the only one seeing this code as a simple solution:)
