As has been pointed out, asking for help in a technical newsgroup because
something "doesn't work" without explaining *how* it doesn't work will
typically achieve nothing more than to generate replies of "In what way does
it not work?", "What error message do you get?", "Help us to help you!",
"We're not psychic!" etc

You're lucky in this particular case, because all that's wrong is that
you're missing a cast:

int m_data= Convert.ToInt32(t_command.ExecuteScalar());
