I need to insert values into several tables first I have to retrieve university id from table college and then insert faculty name into table faculty and get generated by SQL Server ID. After all of this I have to insert both ids into an other table.
Problem is that I have to close readers and after I do it I can't retrieve those ids from them so variable where they should be saved is null. Here is my code. How to do it correctly?
Sorry I am new to C# and SQL Server.
// reading data into combobox
try
{
SqlDataReader myReader = null;
SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand("select * from colege", myConnection);
myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader();
while (myReader.Read())
{
comboBox1.Items.Add(myReader["name"].ToString());
// Console.WriteLine(myReader["Column2"].ToString());
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
myConnection.Close();
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string item = comboBox1.Text.ToString();
// MessageBox.Show(item);
SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection("user id=bogdan_db;" +
"password=1234;server=localhost;" +
"Trusted_Connection=yes;" +
"database=cafedrascience; " +
"connection timeout=30");
try
{
myConnection.Open();
}
catch (Exception E)
{
Console.WriteLine(E.ToString());
}
// reading data into combobox
String colegeid = null;
try
{
SqlDataReader myReader = null;
SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand("select * from colege where name like'" + item + "'", myConnection);
myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader();
while (myReader.Read())
{
colegeid = myReader["id"].ToString();
// Console.WriteLine(myReader["Column2"].ToString());
}
myReader.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
}
String facultyid = null;
try
{
SqlDataReader myReader1 = null;
SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand("select * from depart where name like'" + textBox1.Text + "'",
myConnection);
myReader1 = myCommand.ExecuteReader();
while (myReader1.Read())
{
facultyid = myReader1["id"].ToString();
}
myReader1.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
}
SqlCommand myCommand1 = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO coledge_faculty (coledge_id, faculty_id) " +
"Values ('"+colegeid+"''"+facultyid+"')", myConnection);
myCommand1.ExecuteNonQuery();
// MessageBox.Show(colegeid);
// MessageBox.Show(facultyid);
myConnection.Close();
}
