Question

I have a web form which has 23 textbox’s , I need to pass it to a function, which has SQL command to insert the values of 23 textbox to the table..

Is there a better way using DataSet and SQLDataAdapter?
Becuase if not then i need to pass all the 23 vlues in the function like

//function to insert textbox values to the table

public int createRecord(val1,val2,val3,....val23)
{
   string query = "insert into tablename values (.23 values...)";
   sqlCommand command = new sqlCommand(query,connectionstring);
..
}

please suggest me atleast a good method or give a good link which can solve my problem..

If you are inserting a record and all 23 values are necessary, then there’s not really a better way.

However, it’d be better to use a stored procedure and pass the parameters to the stored procedure instead of using hardcoded SQL in your application, which is always a bad idea.

Something like this:

SqlCommand cmd  = new SqlCommand("YourSPName", conn);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

// add the parameters the SP needs
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Parm1", parm1Value));
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Parm2", parm2Value));
.
.

// execute the SP
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
