        if (a == "")

            Response.Redirect("../Student/AlumniHome.aspx");

        }

       
    }
}

I got an error at con.Open();
please help me....it's very urgent....

Could we at least be told what the error is?

Without knowing the details of your error, I would say that your connection string (conn) is incomplete. Here is a great reference site for constructing connection strings, but I would say that you may need to provide a Password or Integrated Security setting?
