Question also cannot understand, without any code snippets.
Elaborate what you're doing, post your code explain with line number where you got error. Then we can try to help you out. This seems to be namespace error.

Solution 3

in your name spaces section use the following code

using System.Data.SqlClient;

instead of

using System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader;

The error is pretty explicit:
"System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader is type not namespace"
You don't put

C#

using System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader;

in your code: all you need is:

C#

using System.Data.SqlClient;

and then you can access the SqlDataReader directly:

C#

SqlDataReader reader = mySqlCommand.ExecuteReader();

Solution 2

I think the error message it explanatory itself. You are trying to state something like this in codebehind:

C#

using CLASS NAME;

or

XML

<add namespace="CLASS NAME" />

in web.config file.

As it says, System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader is not a namespace but a class. Good Luck!
