ExecuteReader requires an open and available Connection. The connection's current state is closed?

I think you have forgotten to open the connection.

I think you have forgotten to open the connection. Open it before this line: cmd.Parameters. AddWithValue("@baskethash", baskethash) Using - db.Open().

You actually forgot to Open connection: db.Open() Using dr As SqlDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader().

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
