Database Connection Code of Student Registration.

Type this code here

You must add your connection string here, to know

how to get your connection string - click here

using System.Data.SqlClient;

private string connectionString = @" ";

Register Button Code
Type this code here
private void btnregister_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

string firstName = firstNameTextBox.Text;

string lastName = lastNameTextBox.Text;
DateTime dateOfBirth = dateOfBirthPicker.Value;
string gender = genderComboBox.SelectedItem.ToString();
int phoneNumber = int.Parse(phoneNumberTextBox.Text);
string address = addressTextBox.Text;
string studentId = studentIdTextBox.Text;

// SQL query to insert data

string query = "INSERT INTO STUDENT (FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME, DATEOFBIRTH,
GENDER, PHONENUMBER, ADDRESS, STUDENTID) " +
"VALUES (@FirstName, @LastName, @DateOfBirth, @Gender,
@PhoneNumber, @Address, @StudentId)";

using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))

{
try
{
connection.Open();
using (SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(query, connection))
{
// Add parameters to avoid SQL injection
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@FirstName", firstName);

5. Student Update / Delete Form

Just Copy & Paste The Same Design Of Student Registration Form To The Update / Delete
Form. Because We Need The Same Design Recheck The Values When Updating And
Deleting. You Just Have To Change The Names Of The Buttons According To It’s Function.

Now Let’s Create the
Database
STEP 1: Go to “PROJECT”
STEP 2:
Click “Add New Data Source”

STEP 3: Select “Database”

Then click “Next”

STEP 4:

Now click “Dataset”

Then click “Next”

STEP 5:

Now click “New Connection”

STEP 6: Click “Change”

STEP 7:
Select “Microsoft SQL Server Database File”

Then Click “OK”

STEP 8: Type Your Database Name Here

Then click “OK”

STEP 9:

Then click “Next”

STEP 10:

Then click “Next”

STEP 11:

Then click “Finish”

 STEP 12:
Now Under Database Explorer You Can See the Database That You’ve Created

Double Click Your

Database

STEP 13:
Then click “Add New Table”

Now Double Click

the Folder “Tables”
 STEP 14:

Click Update After Creating the Table

Set Primary Key If

needed
Type Your Table Name within
the square brackets [ ]

For example : STUDENT

 Now let’s see how to get the connection string

1.

Right click the

Database

Then click properties

2.

Double click this and

copy the connection
string of your database
3.

Paste the connection string here

private string connectionString = @" ";
