Question : How to close linq to sql connection in database access layer

I using linq to sql where I have two enties in datacontext file epar and shoppingcart

I had implemented linq to sql in my database access layer I am closing the database connection with using(..) statement

I am returning the shoppingcart as a return object to the UI but getting error.

my code where I am reading values:

Line 1: shoppingcart cart = cartFuunctions.GetBasketItemdetails(Request.QueryString["SessionID"], Request.QueryString["ProductID"]);
Line 2: lblpartno.Text = cart.ProductCode;
Line 3: lblProductName.Text = cart.epar.descr;

On Line 2 I am able to read the data successfully but on Line 3 I am getting error message that connection is closed

Please see the code attached for the database access layer file

Thanks
