I'm Experimenting with databases and I'm finding different methods to optimize my codes. Here I'm using a different class to stop re writing the same codes such as for add, Delete and update we use the same ExecuteNonQuery() method. So far Update delete methods worked well except the Insert. Compiler doesn't give any errors but the values taken from the text boxes doesn't go to the variable string query. I'm new to c# coding. Can anyone help me? or an advice?
using DBconnectionExercise.DBConnection_Components;
namespace DBconnectionExercise
{
public partial class Student_Form : Form
{
DBComps dc = new DBComps();
//public string constring;
//public SqlConnection con = null;
//public SqlCommand com = null;
public String query;
public Student_Form()
{
InitializeComponent();
//constring = "Data Source=ASHANE-PC\\ASHANESQL;Initial Catalog=SchoolDB;Integrated Security=True";
//con = new SqlConnection(constring);
dc.ConnectDB();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
loadGridData();
}
private void dtp_dob_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DateTime Now = DateTime.Today;
DateTime Dob = dtp_dob.Value.Date;
int a = Now.Year - Dob.Year;
if (Now < Dob.AddYears(a)) a--;
tb_Age.Text = a.ToString();
}
private void loadGridData()
{
try
{
query = "Select * from tb_Student";
//dc.OpenCon();
//SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(query, con);
DataTable dt1 = new DataTable();
dt1 = dc.Data_Table(query);
//da.Fill(dt);
Stu_DataGrid.DataSource = dt1;
//con.Close();
}

MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());

String Address = tb_Address.Text;

int line = 0;
//con.Open();
query = "Insert into tb_Student values(@Stu_Name, @Stu_DOB, @Age, @Stu_Address, @Stu_Tel_no)";
//query = "Insert into tb_Student (Stu_Name, Stu_DOB, Age, Stu_Address, Stu_Tel_no) Values('" + name + "','" + dob + "','" + age + "','" + Address + "','" + telno + "')";
MessageBox.Show(query);
//com = new SqlCommand(query, con);
// This is the Insert/save code
DBComps.com.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Stu_Name", name);
DBComps.com.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Stu_DOB", dob);
DBComps.com.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Age", age);
DBComps.com.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Stu_Address", Address);
DBComps.com.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Stu_Tel_no", telno);
//line = com.ExecuteNonQuery();
line = dc.ExeNonQuery(query);
//com.Dispose();
//con.Close();
if (line > 0)
{
loadGridData();
ClearData();
MessageBox.Show("Data saved sucessfully!", "Data Saved", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);

else
MessageBox.Show("Data not Saved", "Error Save", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);

This is the DBComps class which I used to write the Sql Function methods.
namespace DBconnectionExercise.DBConnection_Components
{
public class DBComps
{
public String conSring;
public SqlConnection con = null;
public static SqlCommand com = null;
public void ConnectDB()
{
conSring = "Data Source=ASHANE-PC\\ASHANESQL;Initial Catalog=SchoolDB;Integrated Security=True";
con = new SqlConnection(conSring);
}
public void OpenCon()
{
con.Open();
}
public void CloseCon()
{
con.Close();
}
public int ExeNonQuery(String query) //the method for Insert, update and delete.
{
int line = 0;
OpenCon();
com = new SqlCommand(query, con);
line = com.ExecuteNonQuery();
com.Dispose();
CloseCon();
return line;
}
}
}
OK finally I came up with the Answer to my question as I expected. Here how to do this;
Always remember to write the query statement variables/values exactly as to coincide with the table headers. Otherwise it will generate errors. Thanks everyone for helping with this question! :-)
