Connect to SQL Server using a SqlDataSource Control C#
This tutorial will show you how to connect to SQL Server using C# and a SqlDataSource Control.
Design interface for insert data
We used over 10 web hosting companies before we found Server Intellect. Their dedicated servers and add-ons were setup swiftly, in less than 24 hours. We were able to confirm our order over the phone. They respond to our inquiries within an hour. Server Intellect's customer support and assistance are the best we've ever experienced.
<table style="width: 426px">
<tr>
<td>
Category Name:</td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtName" runat="server"></asp:TextBox></td>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Description: </td>
<td>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtDescription" runat="server"></asp:TextBox></td>
<td>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Add" OnClick="Button1_Click" /></td>
</tr>

Connecting the SqlDataSource Control to a Data Source
The following example shows a connection to the SQL Server Northwind sample database using a connection string stored in the <connectionStrings> configuration element.
Create "Data Command" for handle Delete, Insert,Select and Update funcition.
(The default prefix is "@" for Parameter)
Parameter Names
The data source control creates parameters automatically for the values passed in the IDictionary collections. For an insert operation, the data source control populates its InsertParameters collection with values from the name/value pairs in the Values collection. For an update operation, the data source control populates its UpdateParameters collection with values from the name/value pairs in the Keys, NewValues, and OldValues collections. For a delete operation, the data source control populates its DeleteParameters collection with values from the name/value pairs in the Keys and OldValues collections.
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=Northwind;User ID=sa;Password="
DeleteCommand="DELETE FROM [Categories] WHERE [CategoryID] = @CategoryID"
InsertCommand="INSERT INTO [Categories] ([CategoryName], [Description]) VALUES (@CategoryName, @Description)"
SelectCommand="SELECT [CategoryID], [CategoryName], [Description] FROM [Categories]"
UpdateCommand="UPDATE [Categories] SET [CategoryName] = @CategoryName, [Description] = @Description WHERE [CategoryID] = @CategoryID"
>
<DeleteParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="CategoryID" Type="Int32" />
</DeleteParameters>
<UpdateParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="CategoryName" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter Name="Description" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter Name="CategoryID" Type="Int32" />
</UpdateParameters>
<InsertParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="CategoryName" Type="String" />
<asp:Parameter Name="Description" Type="String" />
</InsertParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource> |

Create a Gridview and Bind to SqlDataSource1
The CommandField class is a special field used by data-bound controls (such as GridView and DetailsView) to display command buttons that perform delete, edit, insert, or select operations. Note: This class is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0.

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="CategoryID"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" Width="426px">
<Columns>
<asp:CommandField ShowDeleteButton="True" ShowEditButton="True" CancelText="Cancel" DeleteText="Delete" EditText="Edit" UpdateText="Update"/>
<asp:BoundField DataField="CategoryID" HeaderText="CategoryID" InsertVisible="False"
ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="CategoryID" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="CategoryName" HeaderText="CategoryName" SortExpression="CategoryName" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Description" HeaderText="Description" SortExpression="Description" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView> |
Performs an insert operation using the InsertCommand SQL string and any parameters that are in the InsertParameters collection
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SqlDataSource1.InsertParameters["CategoryName"].DefaultValue = txtName.Text.ToString();
SqlDataSource1.InsertParameters["Description"].DefaultValue = txtDescription.Text.ToString();
SqlDataSource1.Insert();
}
