Adapt beginner C# SQL Server INSERT example to work with my database
- by Mike Bertelsen
I have read TONS of tutorials, articles and whatever regarding my issue and honestly, due to my lack of experience I can't twist my fingers around this one so I hope some of you guys can help me out :)
I am working on a project (simply to learn how to program so it's probably very basic), but I have this "News" page where I can update and delete data using a GridView.
Now I would like to INSERT something into my database using 3 textboxes and 1 submit button.
I have 3 rows that has to be inserted:
Headline
Date
Content/the news itself.
Which are stored under NyhedTB from the connectionstring: BoligStjernenConnectionString
My query looks like this:
INSERT INTO [NyhedTB] ([NyhedDato], [NyhedTitel], [NyhedTekst])
VALUES (@NyhedDato, @NyhedTitel, @NyhedTekst)
I read on the internet that this code should do the magic for me (I will have to insert my own values ofc.):
static void Insert()
{
try
{
string connectionString =
"server=.;" +
"initial catalog=employee;" +
"user id=sa;" +
"password=sa123";
using (SqlConnection conn =
new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
conn.Open();
using (SqlCommand cmd =
new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO EmployeeDetails VALUES(" +
"@Id, @Name, @Address)", conn))
{
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Id", 1);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Name", "Amal Hashim");
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Address", "Bangalore");
int rows = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
//rows number of record got inserted
}
}
}
catch (SqlException ex)
{
//Log exception
//Display Error message
}
}
I looked at this code and thought it should be easy enough but really, I can't figure it out.
