Please check the syntax in the IF block - condition. Seems like you are doing an assignment in the expression itself that is causing the problem.

Look at the code:

VB

If
    Dim studentid As String = CType(row.FindControl("Label1"), Label).Text
    studentid = sid

      Then

    cmd.CommandText = "update feerpt " & _
                      " set  receved=receved+@receved,balance=@balance" & _
                       " where studentid= " & sid & ""

probably, what you meant to say was:

VB

Dim studentid As String = CType(row.FindControl("Label1"), Label).Text
If studentid = sid Then

    cmd.CommandText = "update feerpt " & _
                      " set  receved=receved+@receved,balance=@balance" & _
                      " where studentid= " & sid & ""
