We make some true or false questions so the user will provide their answer and on a button click the answer will be saved to a database.

Initial Chamber

Step 1

Open your Visual Studio 2010 and create an empty website, provide a suitable name (RadioButtonList_demo).

Step 2

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

For Web Form:

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

For SQL Server database:

RadioButtonList_demo (your empty website) then right-click then select Add New Item -> SQL Server Database. (Add the 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:

This table is fore saving the data of the radio button list, I mean in this table we will get the user's answer of true and false questions.

Step 4

Open your RadioButtonList_demo.aspx file from Solution Explorer and start the design of you're application.

Here is the code:

This is how your design looks:

Code Chamber

Finally open your RadioButtonList_demo.aspx.cs file to write the code, for making the list box like we assume.

Here is the code:

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)
{
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 (ans,ans1,ans2) values (@ans,@ans1,@ans2)", con);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("ans", RadioButtonList1.SelectedItem.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("ans1", RadioButtonList2.SelectedItem.Text);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("ans2", RadioButtonList3.SelectedItem.Text);
con.Open();
int i = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
con.Close();
if (i != 0)
{
lbmsg.Text = "Your Answer Submitted Succesfully";
lbmsg.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.ForestGreen;
}
else
{
lbmsg.Text = "Some Problem Occured";
lbmsg.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
}
}
}
