assigning data extracted from a database to a label in ASP.NET

[Libra Blue]

I am extracting data from a database in a very normal SELECT query.
The point is that I want to put some of the data (in the row(s)
extracted in labels not a datagrid or a table. Any idea how??

here's my code (so far!!!)

protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label Label1;

DataSet DS = new DataSet ();
OleDbConnection MyConnection;
OleDbDataAdapter MyCommand;

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
string ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Ole DB
Services=-4;" +
"Data Source=C:\\Documents and Settings\\librablue\\My " +
"Documents\\Visual Studio Projects\\Books\\Books.mdb";
MyConnection = new OleDbConnection ( ConnectionString );
MyCommand = new OleDbCommand ( "SELECT * FROM [Books] WHERE
[Books].[Serial]=\'"
+ Session["Serial"] + "\'", MyConnection );
}

and by the way, the OleDbDataReader thing didn't work, or at least I
wasn't able to use it correctly...

Libra,

Once you have the connection, you can call ExecuteReader, which will
allow you to pass through the result set, forward only. From there, you can
assign the Text property of the label (I assume there is one) to the value
you want from the database.

Hope this helps.
