I keep getting an error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader.

Any idea on why this error is arising?

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Data.Sql;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string strconn = "SERVER=22.3.1.9;User=CHMSE;password=18465!JFKi8nis;Database=CFOH";
            SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(strconn);

            conn.Open();

            SqlCommand cmd = new  SqlCommand();
            cmd.Connection = conn;
            cmd.CommandText = "select address1 from lalocation where servicenumber < 11";

            SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();

           /* while (reader.Read())
            {
                Console.WriteLine(reader[0].ToString() + " " + reader[1].ToString());
            }
            */
            conn.Close();
            Console.WriteLine(reader);
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

The problem is in your Select statement. You only select one value (address1), but in the read you want to retreive two values (reader[0] and reader[1]).
Solution: or you add two values into select statement, or you remove reader[1] from the while loop.
1.:

cmd.CommandText = "select address1, address2 from lalocation where servicenumber < 11";
            SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
            while (reader.Read())            
                Console.WriteLine(reader[0].ToString() + " " + reader[1].ToString());

2.:

cmd.CommandText = "select address1from lalocation where servicenumber < 11";
            SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
            while (reader.Read())            
                Console.WriteLine(reader[0].ToString());

Awesome! Thank you very much.
