System.ApplicationError in Data access class

[Alex. O. Koranteng]

I have my data access class in the App_Code folder. I have added the code
for this class below. I am using objectdatasource to bind to the gridview.
The objectdatasource makes a call to the GetEmployees method when the page
loads and uses a storedproc to populate the gridview. I am getting a Use
implicitly typed local variable declaration type error; Find error message
below:

Data error.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the
current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about
the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.ApplicationException: Data error.

Source Error:


Line 228: catch (SqlException err)
Line 229: {
Line 230: throw new ApplicationException("Data error.");
Line 231: }

Hi Alex,

Source Error:

Line 228: catch (SqlException err)

From your description there's an SqlException thrown and caught by your
code. To see the detailed information of this exception please set a
breakpoint at Line 229 and start debugging. When the exception is thrown
check all the properties of err in the locals window. It can tell you
what's wrong.

Please have a try and provide the detailed information for further
troubleshooting.
