C#

yes.AMOZESHEMPLOYEE is a table in my database and EID,PASSWORD is a column of that

SqlCommand da=new SqlCommand("Select EID from AMOZESHEMPLOYEE WHERE EID='1001'",con1);
SqlCommand da2=new SqlCommand("Select PASSWORD from AMOZESHEMPLOYEE WHERE PASSWORD='12345'",con1);
string a = (string)da.ExecuteScalar();
string b = (string)da2.ExecuteScalar();

both a add b are null? run both your sql statements in sql server and check how many records it will return. if it is more than one then you need to use sql reader and get value from that

no both da,da2 in sql server management studio returns only one record with one column.but in c# both of a,b returns null value.
