instead of returning my output paremeter value in my stored procedure to my label it returns the default value i set my output parameter to.

why cant i put my output parameter into my text label

Dim reader As SqlDataReader
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@tour", "2365")

cmd.Parameters.Add("@tourname", SqlDbType.VarChar)
cmd.Parameters("@tourname").Direction = ParameterDirection.Output


cmd.CommandText = "test"
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
cmd.Connection = conn
conn.Open()
reader = cmd.ExecuteReader()

Dim myTable As DataTable = New DataTable()

myTable.Load(reader)


DropDownList1.DataSource = myTable
DropDownList1.DataTextField = "ddate7"
DropDownList1.DataBind()



Label1.Text = cmd.Parameters("@tourname").ToString

conn.Close()
