The variable 'sql' is assigned but its value is never used

Good afternoon expert,

Getting error messages in VS 2005
The variable 'sql' is assigned but its value is never used
The variable 'connStringl' is assigned but its value is never used

But they are used at
dsToolkit.SelectCommand = sql;
and
dsToolkit.ConnectionString = connString;

So why does th compiler complain?

Allen

change:
 protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        sql = string.empty;
        if (query.Checked)
            sql = "SELECT * from tblSecurity where Username Like '%sm'";
        if (query.Checked)
 
            sql = "SELECT * from tblSecurity where Username Like '%jo'";
