ASP.NET data reader for next loop

I'm very new to .NET, and playing with syntax that  I just can't get right.

I have a sql command that reads a number of records from my database.  In the table, there is a field called APPROVED.  When the user clicks a button, it reads the data.  If the field APPROVED has the value of HOLD, I want to exit the subroutine.  I was trying to put the value into a label, so I could test this out, and I can get it to read the last record fine.  I know I need a For / Next loop in the middle of this, but my brain must have gone because I can't get it right.  I've taken out all the things I tried, so you wouldn't wonder -- why that.

Here is the basic structure of the code:
        'select statement is above here
        dtrFinal = SqlSelectCostCenters.ExecuteReader()


        While dtrFinal.Read
             
            Label1.Text = (dtrFinal("Approved"))

            If Label1.Text = "HOLD" Then
                dtrFinal.Close()
                SqlConnection1.Close()
                Exit Sub
            Else
                'Label1.Text = "YOU ARE GOOD TO GO"
            End If

        End While
        SqlConnection1.Close()


How can I get it to exit the sub if it comes across a record with the word "HOLD" in the field called approved??

THANK YOU as always for any suggestions.

Thank you for helping me think it through.  I always doubt my code.  It wasn't actually the upper/lower case, but I had to trim the data.  When I changed it to trim(dtrFinal("Approved").ToString.ToUpper) it worked like a charm.

THANKS !
Glad to help, BetsyV .
