@{
  // load the sql connection name from Web.Config
  // the default connection string for DNN is SiteSqlServer
  var conString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["SiteSqlServer"].ToString();

  var con = new SqlConnection(conString);
  con.Open();

  // You should always write parameters using the @-syntaxt,
  // and never write them directly into the SQL using string-concatenation
  // to protect yourself from SQL injection attacks
  var command = new SqlCommand("Select Top 10 * from Files Where PortalId = @PortalId", con);
  command.Parameters.Add("@PortalId", CmsContext.Site.Id);
  var myReader = command.ExecuteReader();
