Question

I am getting the error while to insert values to database table:

Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'ref_user' 
when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF.

Please help me out ???

The reason you are getting this error is that you are trying to insert in a table with Auto Increment field being used as primary ke.

In your command, you may set the Identity_Insert On and then Off after insertion. Something like:

new SqlCommand("SET IDENTITY_INSERT ON;
               Insert into yourtable .....;
               SET IDENTITY_INSERT OFF;", yourConnection);
