How can I insert and save data into database using Visual Studio and C#?

public string ss = "Data Source=D\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=gym;Integrated Security=True";
private void comboBox2_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string q2 = "insert into gym.dbo.customer (name, weight, height, add_class, gender, fees) values ('" + this.textBox1.Text + "','" + this.textBox2.Text + "','" + this.textBox3.Text + "','" + this.comboBox1.Text + "','" + this.comboBox2.Text + "','" + this.comboBox3.Text + " ') ;";
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ss);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(q2, con);
SqlDataReader read;
try
{
con.Open();
read = cmd.ExecuteReader();
MessageBox.Show("Welcome to our gym");
while (read.Read()) { };
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}
How can I insert and save data into the database using Visual Studio and C#?
This code throws an error. Anyone please give the suggestion to me to solve the error.

At first make sure your the data type of different column of customer table.
Then make sure what type of data you have to save for combobox.
you have to get the selected value from your Combobox. combobox1,combobox2,combobox3 retuns only the class name
System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox
Besides others, it is recommended to use parameter .. like this:
You can follow this example
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
using(SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(#"Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=c:\users\abdul samad\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\newpro\newpro\Database1.mdf;Integrated Security=True"))
{
try
{
using (var cmd = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO registor (Name, FullName, Password, Email, Gander) VALUES (#Name,#Fullname,#Password,#Email, #Gander)"))
{
cmd.Connection = con;
cmd.Parameters.Add("#Name", txtfname.Text);
cmd.Parameters.Add("#Fullname", txtfname.Text);
cmd.Parameters.Add("#Password", txtpass.Text);
cmd.Parameters.Add("#Email", txtemail.Text);
cmd.Parameters.Add("#Gander", comboBox1.GetItemText(comboBox1.SelectedItem));
con.Open()
if(cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() > 0)
{
MessageBox.Show("Record inserted");
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Record failed");
}
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Error during insert: " + e.Message);
}
}
}

The comments are getting a bit busy, so this is the sort of thing you need to do (including parameterising the query):
Specifically, you don't need a reader for an insert statement as it doesn't return a result set.
private void comboBox2_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var sql = "insert into dbo.customer ...";
using (var con = new SqlConnection(ss))
{
var cmd = new SqlCommand(sql , con);
con.Open();
cmd.ExecuteScalar();
MessageBox.Show("Welcome to our gym");
}
}

Hi check that customer table is available in gym Database.
else try this link

private void comboBox2_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("insert into customer (name,weight,height,add_class,gender,fees) values(#name,#weight,#height,#add_class,#gender,#fees)", con);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("name", this.textBox1.Text);
if (con.State == ConnectionState.Closed)
con.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
con.Close();
}

I found that your connection string declaration is wrong
public string ss = "Data Source=D\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=gym;Integrated Security=True";
need to update like below
public string ss = "Data Source=abc\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=gym; user id=sa; Password=123456";
Data source will be not be D, It should be Server name.

Data type mismatch in criteria expression(Convert.ToInt32(cmd.ExecuteScalar());)

I am trying to Display a name in the textbox from the database if the ID entered by the user matches the record in the MS ACCESS DATABASE.
I'm getting the error Data type mismatch in criteria expression at the line int count = Convert.ToInt32(cmd.ExecuteScalar());
The following is my aspx.cs code-
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
clear();
idcheck();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(#"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Users\dfg\fd\Visual Studio 2010\WebSites\WebSite21\App_Data\UPHealth.mdb");
con.Open();
str = "SELECT [DoctorName] FROM [DoctorInfo] WHERE DoctorID='" + TextBox1.Text.Trim() + "'";
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(str, con);
OleDbDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
if (dr.Read())
{
TextBox2.Text = dr["DoctorID"].ToString();
dr.Close();
con.Close();
}
}
public void idcheck()
{
OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(#"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Users\dfg\fd\Visual Studio 2010\WebSites\WebSite21\App_Data\UPHealth.mdb");
con.Open();
str = "SELECT count(DoctorName) FROM [DoctorInfo] WHERE DoctorID='" + TextBox1.Text.Trim() + "'";
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(str, con);
int count = Convert.ToInt32(cmd.ExecuteScalar());
if (count > 0)
{
Label21.Text = "Doctor Name";
}
else
{
Label21.Text = "Id Does not Exist";
}
}
void clear()
{
TextBox2.Text = "";
}

I guess that is because you as passing in an ID, which is usually a numeric value, as a text field:
DoctorID='" + TextBox1.Text.Trim() + "'
Which should be:
DoctorID=" + TextBox1.Text.Trim()
Another problem arises, since you are vulnerable to SQL injection. What if the text box contained 1; delete users? Then your entire users table would be empty. The lesson learned: use parameterized queries!
Then you can express the SQL as:
DoctorID= ?
And add the parameter to the request:
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("?", TextBox1.Text.Trim());

Retrieve Database values and show them on form using SQLDataReader

I am trying to retrieve data from a Database and show them on a form; but my code isn't working... I've got no errors, and logically it seems to work (to me) so I cannot figure out where I have gone wrong. That's where I need your help!
private void tableListBox_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string constring = #"Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\IncomerDefault.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30";
string Query = "SELECT * FROM [Table] WHERE Default_Name = '" + tableListBox.SelectedValue + "'";
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(constring);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(Query, con);
SqlDataReader Reader;
try
{
con.Open();
Reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (Reader.Read())
{
textBox1.Text = Reader.GetValue(2).ToString();
comboBox1.Text = Reader.GetValue(3).ToString();
comboBox3.Text = Reader.GetValue(4).ToString();
textBox2.Text = Reader.GetValue(6).ToString();
comboBox2.Text = Reader.GetValue(7).ToString();
comboBox4.Text = Reader.GetValue(8).ToString();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
con.Close();
}
The 'tableListBox' is populated with all the values in column 'Default_Name'. I want it so that when the 'Default_Name' is selected from the list box it shows the values, in textboxes and comboboxes, that correspond with that row in the Database.
Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm going to start by changing your design a bit and suggest that perhaps you look at using a datatable and then just retrieving the rows from the datatable.
private void tableListBox_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
private DataTable dataTable;
string constring = #"Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\IncomerDefault.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30";
string Query = "SELECT * FROM [Table] WHERE Default_Name = '" + tableListBox.SelectedValue + "'";
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(constring);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(Query, con);
try
{
con.Open();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
da.Fill(dataTable);
foreach(DataRow row in dataTable.Rows)
{
textBox1.Text = row[2].ToString();
comboBox1.Text = row[3].ToString();
comboBox3.Text = row[4].ToString();
textBox2.Text = row[6].ToString();
comboBox2.Text = row[7].ToString();
comboBox4.Text = row[8].ToString();
}
da.Dispose();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
con.Close();
}
I generally find that DataTables are more reliable than looping through the actual reader. Ofcourse this assumes that there is data being returned. Also try changing your select statement to this
string Query = "SELECT * FROM [Table]"
If that works, then the problem could be
There is no default name of the specified value or
tableListBox.SelectedValue is not returning any value, in which case, have a look at your listbox selected value

Thanks to Takarii for helping. I figured out who to make it work.
private void tableListBox_SelectedValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string constring = #"Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\IncomerDefault.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30";
string Query = "SELECT * FROM [Table] WHERE ID = '" + tableListBox.SelectedIndex.ToString() + "'";
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(constring);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(Query, con);
SqlDataReader Reader;
try
{
con.Open();
Reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (Reader.Read())
{
textBox1.Text = Reader.GetValue(2).ToString();
comboBox1.Text = Reader.GetValue(3).ToString();
comboBox3.Text = Reader.GetValue(4).ToString();
textBox2.Text = Reader.GetValue(6).ToString();
comboBox2.Text = Reader.GetValue(7).ToString();
comboBox4.Text = Reader.GetValue(8).ToString();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
con.Close();
}
First I changed the void to 'SelectedValueChanged' and then I changed the 'WHERE' in the connection Query to the Row Index associated with the selected Value.
Thanks for everyone's help!

MS Access database not updating

Can anybody tell me why my database isn't updating? Here's my code:
protected void editSection_selected(object sender, EventArgs e) {
int index = grdPhone.SelectedIndex;
GridViewRow row = grdPhone.Rows[index+1];
string values = ((DropDownList)sender).SelectedValue;
int tempVal = Convert.ToInt32(values);
int caseage = Convert.ToInt32(keyId);
int value = tempVal;
/*OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(strConnstring);
//string query = "Update Categories set HRS_LEVEL_AMOUNT=" + tempVal + " where parent_id=65 and ID=" + caseage;
string query = "Delete HRS_LEVEL_AMOUNT from Categories where parent_id=65 and id=" + caseage;
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(query, con);
con.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
con.Dispose();
cmd.Dispose();
con.Close();
accPhoneNumbers.UpdateCommand = "Update Categories set HRS_LEVEL_AMOUNT=" + tempVal + " where parent_id=65 and ID=" + caseage;
*/
string str = "UPDATE Categories SET HRS_LEVEL_AMOUNT = ? WHERE ID=?";
using (OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(strConnstring))
{
using (OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(str, con))
{
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("HRS_LEVEL_AMOUNT", tempVal);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("ID", caseage);
con.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
}
Label1.Text += " editSection Success! (B) " + tempVal;
}
The commented part is my first solution (including the accPhoneNumbers.UpdateCommand).
I really need your help guys.

I hope this can help you:
string str = "UPDATE Categories SET HRS_LEVEL_AMOUNT = #value1 WHERE ID=#value2";
using (OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(strConnstring))
{
using (OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(str, con))
{
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#value1", tempVal);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#value2", caseage);
con.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
con.close();
}
}

Data addition and updation in SQL tables

Iam fairly new to SQLClient and all, and iam having a problem with my SQL tables..when ever i run my code, the data, rather than getting updated, attaches itself to the already existing records in the tables..here's my code
SqlConnection conneciones = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
SqlCommand cmd;
conneciones.Open();
//put values into SQL DATABASE Table 1
for (int ok = 0; ok < CleanedURLlist.Length; ok++)
{
cmd = new SqlCommand("insert into URL_Entries values('" + CleanedURLlist[ok] + "' , '" + DateTime.Now + "' , '" + leak + "' )", conneciones);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
conneciones.Dispose();

Take a look at these functions, i hope you understand better on update , insert and delete functions..

Your code should be inserting new records, but I'm not clear on whether it is not doing that, or you mean to update existing records.
Aside from that, understanding that you are new to working with SQL Server, there are a couple of things you should be aware of.
You should use using to automatically dispose resources. This will also close your connection for you so you don't have open connections hanging around.
You should use parameters to protect against sql injection attacks. Another benefit of using parameters in your case is that you don't need to create new commands for every statement.
For example:
using (var connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString)
using (var command = connection.CreateCommand())
{
command.CommandText = "insert into URL_Entries values(#url, #now, #leak)";
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#now", DateTime.Now);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#lead", leak);
// update to correspond to your definition of the table column
var urlParameter = command.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("#url", SqlDbType.VarChar, 100));
connection.Open();
for (int ok = 0; ok < CleanedURLlist.Length; ok++)
{
urlParameter.Value = CleanedURLlist[ok];
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
}
Per your comment, if you want to do an update, you'll need to include the parameter(s) that identify the rows to update. If this is a single row, use the primary key value:
command.CommandText = "update URL_Entries set UrlColumn = #url, ModifiedDate = #now where ID = #id";

You're using an INSERT function, that is 'ADD NEW RECORDS'
If you want an update, you'll want an UPDATE function
UPDATE tablename
SET column1 = 'x', column2 = 'y'
WHERE id = z
