Solution 2

It works for me:

C#

using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(strConnect))
    {
    con.Open();
    using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM Videos", con))
        {
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        using (SqlDataReader read = cmd.ExecuteReader())
            {
            dt.Load(read);
            }
        }
    }

Try Something like this:-

C#

SqlConnection conn = new          SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionStringName"].ConnectionString);
            string query = "SELECT * FROM TableName";
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, conn);
            conn.Open();
            SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
            DataTable dt = new DataTable();
            dt.Load(dr);
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            ds.Tables.Add(dt);
