Populate TextBox With DB Records

This function in a VB class file takes UserID as a parameter & returns
a SqlDataReader to the calling function which exists in a ASPX page:
Namespace NConnect
Public Class Cart
Private sqlConn As New SqlConnection("....")
Public Function GetAddress(ByVal UserID As Integer) As
SqlDataReader
Dim sqlCmd As SqlCommand
Dim sqlReader As SqlDataReader
sqlCmd = New SqlCommand("NETGetAddress", sqlConn)
sqlCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
Try
With sqlCmd
.Parameters.Add("@dotnet.itags.org.UserID", SqlDbType.Int).Value =
UserID
End With
sqlConn.Open()
sqlReader = sqlCmd.ExecuteReader
Catch ex As Exception
Throw ex
End Try
Return sqlReader
End Function
End Class
End Namespace
Using vbc, I successfully compiled the above class file into a DLL
named NConnect.dll.
This is the simple stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE NETGetAddress
@dotnet.itags.org.UserID integer
AS
SELECT UserID, Address, City, State, Country, Zip FROM tblUsers WHERE
UserID = @dotnet.itags.org.UserID
The ASPX page uses a user control named 'Address.ascx' which has 5
TextBoxes named txtAddress, txtCity, txtState, txtCountry & txtZip. I
am using the Get & Set statement for creating a property for each of
the TextBoxes like this:
Public Property Address() As String
Get
Address = txtAddress.Text
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
txtAddress.Text = value
End Set
End Property
'here comes the other properties
Finally, this is the ASPX page:
<%@dotnet.itags.org. Register TagPrefix="NETConnect" TagName="Address"
Src="NETAddress.ascx" %>
<%@dotnet.itags.org. Import Namespace="NConnect" %>
<%@dotnet.itags.org. Import Namespace="System.Data" %>
<%@dotnet.itags.org. Import Namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %>
<script runat="server">
Sub Page_Load(....)
Dim boCart As Cart
Dim iUserID As Integer
Dim sqlReader As SqlDataReader
'retrieving the UserID by calling another function
sqlReader = boCart.GetAddress(iUserID)
End Sub
</script>
<form runat="server">
<NETConnect:NETAddress ID="ncBillingAddress" runat="server"/>
</form>
The ASPX page will render the 5 TextBoxes. Now how do I populate the 5
TextBoxes with the records that the stored procedure retrieves for a
particular UserID?OK....this is what I tried in the ASPX page (this ASPX page is named
NETAddress.aspx):
<%@. Register TagPrefix="NETConnect" TagName="Address"
Src="NETAddress.ascx" %>
<%@. Import Namespace="NConnect" %>
<%@. Import Namespace="System.Data" %>
<%@. Import Namespace="System.Data.SqlClient" %>
<script runat="server">
Sub Page_Load(....)
Dim boCart As Cart
Dim iUserID As Integer
Dim sqlReader As SqlDataReader
Dim nAddress As netaddress_ascx
'retrieving the UserID by calling another function
nAddress = Page.LoadControl("NETAddress.ascx")
nAddress.ID = "ncBilling"
pnlAddress.Controls.Add(nAddress)
sqlReader = boCart.GetAddress(iUserID)
Response.Write("Field Count: " & sqlReader.FieldCount)
nAddress.Address = sqlReader.GetString(1)
nAddress.City = sqlReader.GetString(2)
nAddress.StateName = sqlReader.GetString(3)
nAddress.Country = sqlReader.GetString(4)
nAddress.Zip = sqlReader.GetString(5)
End Sub
</script>
<form runat="server">
<asp:Panel ID="pnlAddress" runat="server"/>
</form>
But the above generates this error:
Invalid attempt to read when no data is present.
pointing to
nAddress.Address = sqlReader.GetString(1)
What's causing the error? Note the Response.Write(sqlReader.FieldCount)
line. If I comment out all the GetString lines after this line, then
sqlReader.FieldCount correctly displays the field count as 6. So how
come sqlReader.GetString(1) has no data?
Moreover if I bind the data to a DataList, then also the DataList
renders all the records corresponding to the UserID; so where am I
going wrong?

Well...the mistake I was making was I wasn't looping through the
SqlDataReader using the Read method of the SqlDataReader...
While(sqlReader.Read)
nAddress.Address = sqlReader.GetString(1)
nAddress.City = sqlReader.GetString(2)
nAddress.StateName = sqlReader.GetString(3)
nAddress.Country = sqlReader.GetString(4)
nAddress.Zip = sqlReader.GetString(5)
End While
