        try
        {
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, SqlCon);
            cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;

            SqlCon.Open();

            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Vendor_ID", lblPage1ID.Text);
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@WorksPackage", Packagevalues);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            throw new Exception(ex.Message);
        }
        finally
        {
            SqlCon.Close();
        }
    }

you need to call cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() after you’ve added the parameters to your sql procedure. this is what will actually run your sql statement.

    try
    {
        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, SqlCon);
        cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;

        SqlCon.Open();

        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Vendor_ID", lblPage1ID.Text);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@WorksPackage", Packagevalues);
        // add this
        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
    }
