Question

I am trying to insert a record into the database using the below method. I am calling this method in a button click event but for some reasons no record is being inserted.

There are four fields which need to be inserted: rpttemplateid – I am getting that field from another database table and all the other feilds are just static values.

What am i doing wrong below?

public void updatereporttemplate()
{
    string cnn = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Underwriting"].ConnectionString;
    SqlConnection cnn1 = new SqlConnection(cnn);
    cnn1.Open();
    string getrptdesc = "select max(rptdesc) + 1 from report_description where rptdesc < 999 and rptdesc is not null";
    SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(getrptdesc, cnn1);
    SqlDataReader sdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
    sdr.Read();

    int getcount = int.Parse(sdr[0].ToString());
    sdr.Close();
    string commandtext1 = "INSERT INTO report_template" + "(rpttemplateid,rpttemplatedescr,minsubs,minmebers) " +
          " Values( " + getcount  + "," + "  " + " ,  " +  0  + "," + 0  + ")";
    SqlCommand command1 = new SqlCommand
    {
        CommandText = commandtext1,
        Connection = cnn1

    };

Answer 1

You need to open the connection

cnn1.Open();

And then execute the command

command1.ExecuteNonQuery();
