The command "cmd2" has the property Connection that has not been initialized. To fix this, you will need to set the Connection property of "cmd2" to the variable "con"
ie. Add the following code immediately after you declare "cmd2" cmd2.Connection = con You need to understand that there are 2 ways of initializing the Connection property of a command object:
1. During the instantiation of the SqlCommand class, you can pass a connection object as the 2nd argument to the SqlCommand constructor. eg. What you did for the cmd object
2. Through direct setting of the Connection property using a connection object as i have illustrated above.

ive already change the code

Dim cmd2 As New SqlCommand("update info set tarikh_akhir_guna='" & DateAndTime.Now & "'where username= '" & UsernameTextBox.Text & "'", con)

thank you sir,but..an error occur said that:
There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first.error is on the cmd2.ExecuteNonQuery()

[wilch]

So trace back where you last used the DataReader object, and call it's Dispose method after using it.
ie. cmd2.Dispose() Otherwise, instead of using the name cmd2, simply use the name cmd3 as your variable name for the sqlcommand.
