Insert data into SQL database

Are you binding your DetailsView to any kind of DataSource ?

The DetailsView is binded to the SqlDataSource..
Here is an example of my project:

Date       TxtDate

Vendor    txtVendor

Client      ddrClient



Submit

The submit button is not inside the detailsview. Its outside and all the entries are made inside the detailsview.

Here is what I have done so far but I am not getting it to work.

protected void  DetailsView1_PageIndexChanging(object sender, DetailsViewPageEventArgs e)
{
    string fetch;

    fetch = "INSERT INTO Discrepancy(";
    fetch += "Date_To_Media, Vendor, Vendor_Name, ";
    fetch += "Client, Dealer_Agent, Invoice_Num, Invoice_Date, Invoice_Amt, Date_Given_to_Buyer, Buyer_Name, Date_Given_to_Acctg)";
    fetch += "VALUES ('";
    fetch += txtDate.Text + "','";
    fetch += txtVcode.Text + "','";
    fetch += txtVname.Text + "','";
    fetch += txtDealer.Text + "',";
    fetch += txtInvNum.Text + "','";
    fetch += txtInvDate.Text + "','";
    fetch += txtInvAmt.Text + "','";
    fetch += txtDatetoBuyer.Text + "','";
    fetch += txtDatetoAcctg.Text + "')";

    string con = "Data Source=sasql01;Initial Catalog=Projections; User ID=sa_sql;Password=str@teg1K@m3r1ka";
    SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(con);
    SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(fetch, conn);
    int added = 0;
    try
    {
        conn.Open();
        added = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        Label1.Text = added.ToString() + "records inserted.";
    }
    catch (Exception err)
    {
        Label1.Text = "Error inserting record.";
        Label1.Text += err.Message;
    }
    finally
    {

        conn.Close();
    }

}

protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, DetailsViewPageEventArgs e)
    {
     }

   Error: txtDate is not defined, txtVcode is not defined.................and so on.

Am I using the right function to insert my values. On the other hand, my source code looks something like this.

Thank you for your help. I am off tomorrow, so I will have to wait until Thursday to run this code. I will let you know by Thursday. Thank you for your help once again.

I used the above code and I got an error. The error is "The type or namespace name stringBuilder' could not be found(are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"

I figured this error out by having Using.System.Text. But here is the problem I am running into.

I have a try catch block to check if I have any errors and this is what I am getting after I hit the submit button.
Error inserting record.Unclosed quotation mark after the character string ')'. Incorrect syntax near ')'.

This is my code:

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Collections;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Text;


public partial class Default3 : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
    //private DataSet ds;
    //private SubmitEntry ser = new SubmitEntry();
    //private static DateTime DateToMedia=0;
    //private static int Venor=0;
    //private static string VendorName=0;
    //private static string Client=0;
    //private static string DealerAgent=0;
    //private static int InvoiceNum=0;
    //private static DateTime InvoiceDate = 0;
    //private static Decimal InvoiceAmt = 0;
    //private static DateTime DateGivenToBuyer = 0;
    //private static string BuyerName = 0;
    //private static DateTime DateGivenToAcctg = 0;

    protected void radPrint_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

    protected void DetailsView1_PageIndexChanging(object sender, DetailsViewPageEventArgs e)
    {

    }

   protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        StringBuilder fetch = new StringBuilder();

        fetch.Append("INSERT INTO Discrepancy(");
        fetch.Append("Date_To_Media, Vendor, Vendor_Name, ");
        fetch.Append("Client, Dealer_Agent, Invoice_Num, Invoice_Date, Invoice_Amt, Date_Given_to_Buyer, Buyer_Name, Date_Given_to_Acctg)");
        fetch.Append("VALUES ('");
        fetch.AppendFormat("{0}','", ((TextBox)DetailsView1.FindControl("txtDate")).Text);
        fetch.AppendFormat("{0}','", ((TextBox)DetailsView1.FindControl("txtVcode")).Text);
        fetch.AppendFormat("{0}','", ((TextBox)DetailsView1.FindControl("txtVname")).Text);
        fetch.AppendFormat("{0}','", ((TextBox)DetailsView1.FindControl("txtDealer")).Text);

        fetch.AppendFormat("{0}','", ((TextBox)DetailsView1.FindControl("txtInvDate")).Text);

        fetch.AppendFormat("{0}','", ((TextBox)DetailsView1.FindControl("txtDatetoBuyer")).Text);
        fetch.AppendFormat("{0}',')", ((TextBox)DetailsView1.FindControl("txtDatetoAcctg")).Text);

        string con = "Data Source=sasql01;Initial Catalog=Projections; User ID=sa_sql;Password=str@teg1K@m3r1ka";
        SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(con);
        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(fetch.ToString(), conn);


        //Add the parameters
        //cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Date_To_Media",
        int added = 0;
        try
        {
            conn.Open();
            added = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
            Label1.Text = added.ToString() + "records inserted.";
        }
        catch (Exception err)
        {
            Label1.Text = "Error inserting record.";
            Label1.Text += err.Message;
        }
        finally
        {

            conn.Close();
        }
    }

    protected void btnUpdate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    }
}

Slight typo. The line:

    fetch.AppendFormat("{0}',')", ((TextBox)DetailsView1.FindControl("txtDatetoAcctg")).Text);

Should say:

    fetch.AppendFormat("{0}')", ((TextBox)DetailsView1.FindControl("txtDatetoAcctg")).Text);

got it to work..great!! thanks a lot.
