Mysql query

[SAINTJAB]

I am trying to find the sum of a column( cal) between two dates and then assign or display the result (sum) in a textbox or label in C#. Please help me.

MySqlConnection mycon = new MySqlConnection("datasource=localhost;username=root;database=church");
            mycon.Open();
            MySqlCommand get = new MySqlCommand("SELECT  sum(cal) from tithes where transdate between '" + from + "' and '" + to + "'");
            MySqlDataReader reade = get.ExecuteReader();
            label4.Text = reade.ToString();
            mycon.Close();

Don't use ExecuteReader() for a single scalar value, use ExecuteScalar() instead. This is more along the lines of what you're trying to accomplish:

private static string GetMemberFilePath(int memberid)
    {
      const string query = @"Select FName From MemberInfo Where MemberId = @MemberId";
      using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connStr))
      {
        conn.Open();
        using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, conn))
        {
          cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@MemberId", SqlDbType.Int)).Value = memberid;
          string result = Convert.ToString(cmd.ExecuteScalar());
          return result;
        }
      }
    }

That will return a string value which you can set to the .Text property of a control.
