ExecuteNonQuery requires an open & available Connection. The connection's current state is closed

Question

when Trying t run the program it throws a exception that current connection state is closed..
Here iam using two condition and 2 commands in a single connection ..also i have a doubt that it is enough for 1 try block for two condition...

public void Insert(DataTable dt)
{
    SqlConnection Dist = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Distil"].ToString());
    Dist.Open();
