Question

This may be a stupid question and if it is then I apologize. I have a program in which the user inputs data into a windows form and clicks a button. That button saves the inputted data into an MS Access 2010 database.

My question is this: After the button is clicked and the data is saved, should I be able to see the saved data if I open the database from Access? When I run the program I do not get any error messages and everything appears to be working, but when I open the table from Access, it’s empty. Is this because opening the database from Access opens a different instance or is it that the data just isn’t being saved?

Here is the code from the Form class:

        }

        //event handler for data input
        private void btnEnterAbRipperXInfo_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //convert input data to int datatype and assign to properties
            busObject.InAndOuts = int.Parse(this.txtInAndOuts.Text);

            //call method to save input data

Answer 1

Everything looks good! I would set a break point on your Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString()); and see if you are missing an exception
