System.InvalidOperationException: ExecuteReader: Connection property has not been initialized

Hi, I'm a newbie and I have this problem when working with a user control:

System.InvalidOperationException: ExecuteReader: Connection property has not
been initialized

It is a simple User Control, with just a sql connection string and a stored
procedure:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
SqlConexio = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection()
SqlConexio.ConnectionString = "the connection string - I don't write in the
forum for obvious reasons, but I know it's OK"

'the Stored Procedure
cmdIncrementarComptador = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand()
cmdIncrementarComptador.CommandText = "qe842.[Bruno_Comptador_Seleccio]"
cmdIncrementarComptador.CommandType =
System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure
cmdIncrementarComptador.Parameters.Add(New
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@RETURN_VALUE",
System.Data.SqlDbType.Int, 4, System.Data.ParameterDirection.ReturnValue,
False, CType(10, Byte), CType(0, Byte), "",
System.Data.DataRowVersion.Current, Nothing))

SqlConexio.Open()
cmdIncrementarComptador.ExecuteNonQuery()
SqlConexio.Close()

--------------------------------------------------------------
The error appears when Executing the Stored Procedure...
any ideas? TIA

I don't see where you've specified the SqlConnection for your SqlCommand object:

cmdIncrementarComptador.Connection = SqlConexio
