I am having a hard time figuring out why the following constructor will not close connnections. When I view the active connections. Here is the code that I have.

    Public Sub New(ByVal UserID As Integer)

    Dim oConn As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("connStr").ToString())
    Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("stored proc", oConn)
    Dim sdr As SqlDataReader

    cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@userID", UserID)
    oConn.Open()
    sdr = cmd.ExecuteReader()

    Try
        If Not sdr.HasRows Then
            sdr.Close()

            If Not oConn Is Nothing Then
                If oConn.State <> ConnectionState.Closed Then
                    oConn.Close()
                End If
            End If
            cmd.Dispose()

            Exit Sub
        End If
        'User has account in WATS, proceed to load account information
        While sdr.Read
             _firstname = Convert.ToString(sdr("First Name"))
            _lastname = Convert.ToString(sdr("Last Name"))
        End While

    Catch ex As Exception
        'Throw New Exception("User Error: " + ex.Message)
    Finally
        sdr.Close()

        If Not oConn Is Nothing Then
            If oConn.State <> ConnectionState.Closed Then
                oConn.Close()
            End If
        End If
        cmd.Dispose()
    End Try

    End Sub
