Answer 1

Filter your Select query on the basis of some key . Check if it returns for existence or non-existence of the particular record and do the processing required .

 string cmdStr = "Select count(*) from MyTable where id = 1"; //get the existence of the record as count 

 OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(cmdStr, conn);

  int count = (int)cmd.ExecuteScalar();

  if(count >0)
  {
         //record already exist 
  }

Modify this line

  OleDbCommand cmd1 = new OleDbCommand("select * from MyTable", con);
