This is a great place to start: ASP.NET Data Access Tutorials[^]

You might take a look at the other material too:
ASP.NET Web Forms[^]

[Update]
Doing it like RaviRanjankr suggests works fine, but it will not allow you to take advantage of the databinding features of the platform. Going through the tutorials will allow you to get more done with less work.

You can use the ADO.NET DataReader to retrieve a read-only, forward-only stream of data from a database. Results are returned as the query executes, and are stored in the network buffer on the client until you request them using the Read method of the SqlDataReader.

SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection();
con.ConnectionString = "Write your Connection String values";
con.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Your query using Where Clause",con);
            SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
 if(dr.Read())
{
// if dr is able to read value or dr have more than 0 rows
var value = dr[index] // assign 
}

for more Details take a look at this Link-MSDN-[Retrieving Data Using the DataReader][^]
