Answer 1

Use

dataReader.GetDateTime(dataReader.GetOrdinal("sDate"))

instead of

dataReader["sDate"] + ""

and remove the ticks around your columns in the sql, e.g.

sDate instead of 'sDate'. You need them only for reserved words or if you have spaces in your column names:

9.3. Reserved Words

2.2. Reserved Words in MySQL 5.1
