Solution 1

You need to cast the reader value to string. You cannot directly assign reader value to label text.

It should be

C#

Label6.Text = reader.getValue(0);

Solution 2

You are missing the ToString(). It should be :

C#

Label6.Text = reader[0].ToString();

Solution 4

You need to cast the value to a string like so:

C#

Label6.Text = Convert.ToString(reader[0]);

This way, if the object cannot be cast to a string, you will just get a null instead of having your method blow up (again).

Solution 5

Try this

SqlDataReader dr;
SqlCommand sqlcmddr = new SqlCommand("sqlquery, con);

C#

dr = sqlcmddr.ExecuteReader();
           if (drget.Read())
           {
Label6.Text = dr.GetValue(0).ToString();
}
