InvalidOperationException

The SqlDataSource cannot establish a connection with the underlying data source.

The Select method calls the ExecuteSelect method, passing the selectArgs parameter.

The ExecuteSelect method returns a DataView object, if the DataSourceMode property is set to the DataSet value or it returns a IDataReader object, if the DataSourceMode property is set to the DataReader value. Close the IDataReader object when you have finished reading the data.
