I keep getting this error:
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Phoenix\Login.aspx.cs(85): 'Phoenix.WebForm1.DBConnection(string, string)': not all code paths return a value

I have already tried putting everything in the DBConnection function to comments but still the problem persisted. This is crucial that i get this working. I have watched examples from the guides in daniweb but they don't give working answers, everything is either in the wrong programming language or connecting to sql server instead of access database. My login needs to be done with C# and needs to check password from access database. If anyone can tell me what is wrong with my code i would appreciate it.
Here is the code:

did u get any exception..?

adatapost's fix worked like a charm. Now it gives me no errors. Now the only problem is, that apparently it doesnt connect to the database. I ran a few debug tests and it seems to go straight to catch part after MyConn.Open();. Do I need to have ms access installed on this virtual pc that i am using for developing this website? Or is my code incorrect? I have the connection string in my web.config and it is as following:
<appSettings>
<add key="strConn" value="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\BugTypes.mdb;User Id=admin;Password=;"/>
</appSettings>

I solved the last part myself Data Source was split to two rows and it caused problems. Now everything works like a charm. Thanks everyone!
