We took one TextBox and ListBox and on a button click it will move it to the ListBox and on another button click it will be saved to the database.

Initial chamber

Step 1

Open your Visual Studio 2010 and create an Empty Website, provide a suitable name (textListBox_demo).

Step 2

In Solution Explorer you get your empty website, then add two web forms and a SQL Server Database as in the following.

For Web Form:

textListBox_demo (your empty website) then right-click then select Add New Item -> Web Form. Name it textListBox_demo.aspx.

For SQL Server Database

textListBox_demo (your empty website) then right-click then select Add New Item -> SQL Server Database. (Add a database inside the App_Data_folder).

DATABASE CHAMBER

Step 3

In Server Explorer, click on your database (Database.mdf) then select Tables -> Add New Table. Make the table like this.

Table tbl_data (Don't Forget to make ID as IS Identity -- True)

Step 4

Now open your textListBox_demo.aspx file, where we create our design for GridView sorting.

TextListBox_demo.aspx

</table>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Step 5

Open your textListBox_demo.aspx.cs and write some code so that our application works.

textlistobx_demo.aspx.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (this.TextBox1.Text != null)
{
ListBox1.Items.Add(this.TextBox1.Text);
Button2.Visible = true;
}
}
protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Database.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True");
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("insert into tbl_data (data) values (@data)", con);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("data", ListBox1.Text);
con.Open();
int i = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
con.Close();
if (i!=0)
{
lbmsg.Text = "Your Data have been saved to Database";
lbmsg.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.ForestGreen;
}
}
}
