This is how i did (Its

Dim conString As String = "Server=hcl\sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=vbtry;Integrated

Security=True"
Dim conn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(conString)
Dim adap As New SqlDataAdapter
Dim ds As New DataSet

Copy Code

Private Sub btnInsert_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As

System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs)
Dim selCmdText As String = "SELECT *FROM DEPARTMENTS"
Dim selCommand As New SqlCommand(selCmdText, conn)
Dim insCmdText As String = "INSERT INTO
DEPARTMENTS(Department_id,Department_name,Manager_id,Location_id)" & _
"VALUES(@DepId,@DepName,@ManId,@LocId)"
Dim insCommand As New SqlCommand(insCmdText, conn)
Dim adp As New SqlDataAdapter(selCommand)
adp.InsertCommand = insCommand

Dim param As New SqlParameter

param.ParameterName = "@DepId"
param.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.SmallInt
param.Value = Integer.Parse(txtDepId.Text)
insCommand.Parameters.Add(param)

param = New SqlParameter

param.ParameterName = "@DepName"
param.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.VarChar
param.Size = 15
param.Value = txtDepName.Text
insCommand.Parameters.Add(param)

param = New SqlParameter

param.ParameterName = "@ManId"

As you can see, I have used SqlDataAdapterclass. With this I don't have to care about the
opening and closing of connection. It will fill the values in the DataTablewhich on
updating can be updated back to the Database. Second thing is the use of SqlParameters
for each values that I want to insert to prevent SQL Injections. Avoid directly writing
TextBox1.text, if someone writes DROP TABLEand other malicious commands, you can
imagine what will happen!
Thirdly, I would recommend you to use LINQ to SQL, it's very easy to use and you don't
have to write the big coding stuff above. Here is the link :

Hope it helped! :)

Was it you who downvoted this answer? If so, could you explain what's wrong with it?

sir i tried this code bt it is giving me the error
adp.fill(dt)
the error is
value of string type cannot be converted syste.data.sqlclient

one more thing why u used the select comand

Tarun.K.S 18-Mar-11 6:48am

I used select command to fill the adapter with the data present in the Table. Then you can insert, update or delete.
Regarding the error in string, check the sqlDbType of the parameter.

Did it work now?
