Question

Im trying to insert some text that a Label has, and it wont insert it for some reason.

this is my code :

cmd = new SqlCommand(sqlquery1, conn);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("Status", UserNameOrGuest.Text);
ErrorLabel.Text = "Movie rental succeeded!";

the sqlquery is : string sqlquery1 = "INSERT INTO Movies (Status) VALUES (@Status)";

Thanks for the help

Answer 1

You created the SqlCommand object but you are not executing the command to perform insert operation. use cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() to execute the command.

cmd = new SqlCommand(sqlquery1, conn); 
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("Status", UserNameOrGuest.Text); 
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
ErrorLabel.Text = "Movie rental succeeded!";

Check example here : SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery Method and SqlCommand.ExecuteScalar Method

create a SqlCommand and then executes it using ExecuteNonQuery/ExecuteScaler.
