Assuming your datareader is called rdr, something like this would work:

while(rdr.Read())
{
   txtBox1.Text = rdr.Item["DBFieldName1"].ToString();
   txtBox2.Text = rdr.Item["DBFieldName2"].ToString();
}

while (dr.Read())
{                    
    string checkValue = dr.GetValue(0).ToString();
    if (checkValue == myEmpIdTextbox.Text)
    {
        Texbox2.Text = dr.GetValue(1).ToString();
        Texbox3.Text = dr.GetValue(2).ToString();
    }
}

Works in C# - Visual Studio 2015.

The values in the brackets () next to GetValue indicate the column number, relative to your SQL Select query.

EXAMPLE:

SELECT coloumn1, coloumn2, coloumn3 FROM table

Then, in this case, Textbox3.Text will be made equal to the data in coloumn3, and Textbox2. Text to coloumn2, for that row where coloumn1 is equal to your value in your Empid textbox.
