Insert Data with Dropdownlist Condition

Question

i have asp.net project which has dropdownlist. i need to insert data into my database according to dropdownlist condition.

For example; in my project, i will choose the employee and i will insert the some values from my textboxes and after clicking button on the bottom, i need to insert the changes into database that selected employee from my dropdownlist.

Here is the button click codes;

C#

protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        SqlConnection conn;
        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
        string strSQL = "Insert INTO info (day,event) Values (@day,@event)";
        string bag_str = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["asgdb01ConnectionString"].ConnectionString;
        conn = new SqlConnection(bag_str);
        conn.Open();
        cmd.Connection = conn;
        cmd.CommandText = strSQL;
        cmd.Parameters.Add
        cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@day", TextBox1.Text));
        cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@event", TextBox2.Text));

        int i = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        conn.Close();
        if (i > 0)
            Response.Write("Data Inserted");
        else
            Response.Write("Try Again");

    }

Here is something to make clear on your mind;

|Dropdownlist1| (i will click here and names will appear you know.)
-Mike
-John
-Susan
-Kevin

(label1) DAY : ______________ (TEXTBOX1)
(label2) EVENT : ______________ (TEXTBOX2)
|FINISH| (button1)

You see from here, i will click dropdownlist and i will choose the employee. After i will enter the values and i will click on FINISH button and data will be inserted into that selected employee.

Here is the key question; how can i tell the button_click event; you will insert these data's into selected employees table which i have chosen the employee from dropdownlist. okay ?

Waiting your helps with four eye.

Edit 1 :

-------------------------------------------------------------------

1  mike   out  250  350..... 0   900     -      -     22-06-2012

2 john    in   350  150 ....100  1100    -      -     28-06-2012

As you see from here my friend, i will choose the dates from my datetimepickers, i will choose the employee from my dropdownlist and i will enter the values into textboxes and after that i will click finish button.

you must also have another field in your insert query with the name of employeeID or employeeName.

In such case you need to change your code to the following

C#

protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        SqlConnection conn;
        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
        string strSQL = "Insert INTO info (day,event,employee) Values (@day,@event,@employee)";
        string bag_str = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["asgdb01ConnectionString"].ConnectionString;
        conn = new SqlConnection(bag_str);
        conn.Open();
        cmd.Connection = conn;
        cmd.CommandText = strSQL;
        cmd.Parameters.Add
        cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@day", TextBox1.Text));
        cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@event", TextBox2.Text));
        cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@employee", Dropdownlist1.selectedItem.Text));
 
        int i = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        conn.Close();
        if (i > 0)
            Response.Write("Data Inserted");
        else
            Response.Write("Try Again");
 
    }

if you think the above is not a correct solution, then post your database design as well here.

Solution 2

You are doing everything in a right way..for your question you only have to pass one more parameter for selectedvalue of dropdownlist.

C#

cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@day", TextBox1.Text));
        cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@event", TextBox2.Text));
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@employee", dropdownlist1.SelectedValue));

Thanks

Hi,

First of all you should add Event column in the table.
As per my advice and your scenario i think you should use the update command. Because we have ID in the table as a Primary key. So whenever you are binding the dropdownlist from the table just do like below

C#

DropDownList1.DataTextField="Name"
DropDownList1.DataValueField="ID"

And then you can use the update command instead of Insert command as shown below

C#

string strSQL = "UPDATE TABLE info SET day=@day,event=@event where ID=Convert.ToInt32(DropDownList1.SelectedValue.ToString())";

Please check this and revert back to me in case you need any further clarification.

Thanks and Regards
