This is about as simple as it gets:

ASP.NET

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>

<html>
<head>
    <title>Web Form to DB</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="myForm" runat="server">
        Name:
        <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtName" />
        <br />
        Age:
        <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtAge" />
        <br />
        <asp:Button runat="server" onclick="HandleInsert" Text="Save" />
    </form>
</body>
</html>

<script runat="server">
    public void HandleInsert(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string name = txtName.Text;
        int age = int.Parse(txtAge.Text);
        string strCommand = "INSERT INTO People (PersonName, PersonAge) VALUES (@PersonName, @PersonAge)";
        string strConnection = @"Data Source=MyMachineName\SQL2005;Initial Catalog=TestDB;Integrated Security=True";
        var conn = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(strConnection);
        var cmd = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(strCommand, conn);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("PersonName", name);
        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("PersonAge", age);
        conn.Open();
        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        conn.Close();
    }
</script>

You'll have to make sure the "People" table exists first. And modify the connection string to point to your database.
