Include the read method first.

[B]rdr.read();[/B]
if(rdr.hasrows)
..............................

thank you for replying.
I am not sure where to key in the read method

Just change 'If rdr.HasRows' to 'If rdr.Read()'

Therefore your code should be as follows

If rdr.Read() Then
            If ddltype.SelectedValue = "Customer" Then
                Session("ses_dname") = rdr("CusFName") + " " + rdr("CusLName")
                Session("ses_uid") = rdr("Cusid")
                Response.Redirect("Home1.aspx")
                'ElseIf 
                '   ddltype.SelectedValue = "Delivery Boy" Then
                '  Session("ses_dname") = rdr("FirstName") + " " + rdr("Lastname")
                ' Session("ses_uid") = rdr("staffid")
                'Session("ses_utype") = rdr("Designation")
                'Response.Redirect("DeliveryBoyDirection.aspx")
            Else
                ddltype.SelectedValue = "DeliveryBoy"
                Session("ses_uname") = rdr("FirstName") + " " + rdr("LastName")                Session("ses_uid") = rdr("staffid")
                Session("ses_utype") = rdr("Designation")
                Response.Redirect("DeliveryBoyDirection.aspx")

            End If
        End If

i think you are VB.net...but i'm the C# guy...

i guess you are missing toSting() function which is required...

in your code instead storing the string,you are storing the reader object...

string finaltext = rdr["FirstName"].tostring() + "" + rdr["LastName"].toString();

Session.add("ses_uname",) = rdr("FirstName") + " " + rdr("LastName")

hope it helps...and if i'm wrong please let me know...
