Question

I have a simple two-field form that stores its data in the database. For some reason, it isn’t working. I have verified that the connection string works, as it is used in another project I made.

I didn’t include the beginning of the first class or its page load.

Code:

    protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string Name = txtName.Text;
        string Description = txtSpecial.Text;
        string method = string.Format(
            "INSERT INTO RbSpecials (Name,Description,Active) VALUES ('{0}','{1}','1')",
            Name,
            Description);
        RbConfiguration mySql = new RbConfiguration();
        try
        {
            mySql.Sql_Connection(method);
        }
        catch
        {

        }
    }
}

public class RbConfiguration
{
    string DbConnectionString = "System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings['RBConnectionString'].ConnectionString";

    public void Sql_Connection(string queryString)
    {
        SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(DbConnectionString);
        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(queryString, conn);
        conn.Open();

        conn.Close();
    }
}

Well without knowing the error, I’ll give it a shot anyway.

string DbConnectionString = "System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings['RBConnectionString'].ConnectionString";

Should be

string DbConnectionString = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["RBConnectionString"].ConnectionString;

And as Adam says, you never actually execute your Query.
The Sql_Connection-method, only opens a connection, and then closes it again, without actually doing anything.

Try this instead:

public void Sql_Connection(string queryString)
{
    using( SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(DbConnectionString) )
    {
        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(queryString, conn);
        conn.Open();
        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
    }
}
