An exception of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException' occurred in System.Data.dll

Question

When I execute my code below, this error message occurs:

"An exception of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException' occurred in System.Data.dll but was not handled in user code

Additional information: Incorrect syntax near '='. "

And this is the code:

string position;

SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("server=free-pc\\FATMAH; Integrated Security=True; database=Workflow; ");
con.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT EmpName FROM Employee WHERE EmpID=" + id.Text, con);

SqlDataReader Read = cmd.ExecuteReader();

if (Read.Read()==true)
{
    position = Read[0].ToString();
    Response.Write("User Registration successful");
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine("No Employee found.");
}

Read.Close(); 

What is causing this, and how can I resolve it?

Answer 1

use try-catch to see real error occurred on you

 try
{
  //Your insert code here
}
catch (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException sqlException)
{
  System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(sqlException.Message);
}
