Question : Receiving error when submitting data to SQL Server through asp.net vb

I have a web form built in vb in the asp.net platform.  The form collects data from the user then inserts the data to an SQL server through a stored procedure.  The connection string is stored in the web config.  I cannot figure out why I continue to receive an error "The ConnectionString property has not been initialized."  I have never received this error. I am attaching the vb code behind the page.  Thanks for the help.

Answer : Receiving error when submitting data to SQL Server through asp.net vb

No choice really, you have to use both.  

<cfquery name="getTypes" .....>
SELECT  RecordType, COUNT(*) AS NumOfRecords
FROM     YourTable
GROUP BY RecordType
</cfquery>

Then just use the getTypes query in your cfchart
