What error do you get and on which line does it occur?

It is difficult to help when you provide us with minimal information regarding the error.

line 48

con.Open();

a error appear sying The connection was not closed. The connection's current state is open..

Well it's exactly what it says. You're trying to open a connection that's already open. Remove line 48 and you'll be fine.

As Ketsuekiame said, you already open the connection on line 39 and don't shut it then, hence the exception you see being thrown.

A good practice here is to use [code lifted off net, hence using different connection, easy to change to yours]

    using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))  
    {  
        SqlCommand command = connection.CreateCommand();  

        command.CommandText = "mysp_GetValue";  
        command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;  

        connection.Open();  
        object ret = command.ExecuteScalar();  
    }  

when you are going to databases, this will mean you don't have to worry about closing the connection as it will be done for you when the end of the using is reached.

As a note, you should also wrap the command in a using statement too ;)
