Inserting Form Data Into DataBase Using Stored Procedure In ASP.NET C#

Background

I have decided to write this article by considering the requirements of students and beginners who often ask how to insert the form data using a Stored Procedure. Due to this, I have explained this requirement with basics so they can get an idea of how to submit form data using a Stored Procedure.

So let us start the walkthrough.

Create a table "Student" as in the following.

Create a Stored Procedure named "Studenentry" as

CREATE PROCEDURE StudentEntry  
(  
    @fname VARCHAR(50),  
    @mname VARCHAR(50),  
    @lname VARCHAR(50)  
)  
AS  
BEGIN  
    INSERT INTO Student (Fname, MName, Lastname)  
    VALUES (@fname, @mname, @lname)  
END  

In the above Stored Procedure, I have declared three variables, they are @fname, @Mname, and @Lname to store Fname, MName, and, Lastname into the table.

Now create the one sample application "StudentEntry" as

1. Start - All Programs - Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.
2. File - New Website - C# - Empty website (to avoid adding a master page).
3. Give the website a name such as "StudentEntry" or another as you wish and specify the location.
4. Then right-click on Solution Explorer - Add New Item - Default.aspx page.
5. Drag and drop one button, three textboxes, and one label on the <form> section of the Default aspx page.

Then switch to the design view; the <<form> section of the Default aspx page source will look as in the following.

<form id="form1" runat="server">  
    <div>  
        First Name:  
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>  
        <br />  
        Middle Name:  
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>  
        <br />  
        Last Name:  
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox3" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>  
        <br />  
        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Add" OnClick="Button1_Click" />  
    </div>  
</form>

Now double-click on "Button" then write the following code.

protected void BtnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)  
{  
    connection();  
    query = "StudentEntry";  // Stored Procedure name  
    SqlCommand com = new SqlCommand(query, con);  // Creating SqlCommand object  
    com.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;  // Declaring command type as Stored Procedure  
  
    // Adding parameters to SqlCommand  
    com.Parameters.AddWithValue("@FName", TextBox1.Text.ToString());  // First Name  
    com.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Mname", TextBox2.Text.ToString());  // Middle Name  
    com.Parameters.AddWithValue("@LName", TextBox3.Text.ToString());  // Last Name  
  
    com.ExecuteNonQuery();  // Executing the SqlCommand  
  
    Label1.Visible = true;  
    Label1.Text = "Records are Submitted Successfully";  
}

In the above code, I have explained in detail in each line through comments what each line is used for what purpose, I hope you understand it.

Now run the application; the starting page should be as follows.

Now insert some data and click on the submit button, the following message will be shown after the successful submission of the data.

Note

• For detailed code please download the zip file attached above.
• Don't forget to Perform changes into the Web.config file according to your Server location.

Summary

Now we have learned how to submit the form data using a Stored Procedure in the database. I hope this article is useful for all students and beginners. If you have any suggestions related to this article please contact me.
