Avoid Duplicate record insert on page refresh using ASP.NET One of most common issue which many of the web developers face in their web applications is that the duplicate records are inserted to the Database on page refresh. If the web page contains some text box and a button to submit the textbox data to the database. In that case when the user insert some data to the textbox and click on the submit button it will save the record to the Database and then if the user refresh the web page immediately then the same record is again saved to the database as there is no unique keys that can be used to verify the existence of the data so as to prevent the multiple insertion. From this behavior we can definitely know that on the page fresh the button click event is fired. To avoid this problem we can try this method as discuss below. On page load event save the date/time stamp in a session variable when the page is first loaded a Session variable is populated with the current date/time as follows: void Page_Load(Object sender EventArgs e) { if(!IsPostBack) { Session[update] = Server.UrlEncode(System.DateTime.Now.ToString()); } } On the page's PreRender event a ViewState variable is set to the value of the Session variable as follows: void Page_PreRender(object objEventArgs e) { ViewState[update] = Session[update]; } Then these two values are compared to each other immediately before the database INSERT command is run. If they are equal then the command is permitted to execute and the Session variable is updated with the current date/time otherwise the command is bypassed as given below: void btnSubmit_Click(object obj EventArgs e) { string name = ; string qualification = ; if (Session[update].ToString() == ViewState[update].ToString()) { if (txtName.Text !=  || txtName.Text != null) { name = txtName.Text.ToString(); } if (txtQualification.Text !=  || txtQualification.Text != null) { qualification = txtQualification.Text.ToString(); } //--- Insert data function should be execute here string strSql = INSERT INTO Testdata (NameQualification) VALUES (' + name + '' + qualification + '); SqlConnection ANConnection = new SqlConnection(ConnectionString); ANConnection.Open(); SqlCommand ANCommand = new SqlCommand(strSql ANConnection); ANCommand.ExecuteNonQuery(); ANConnection.Close(); ANConnection.Dispose(); //--End of save data lblMessage.Text = Inserted Record Sucessfully Session[update] = Server.UrlEncode(System.DateTime.Now.ToString()); } else { lblMessage.Text = Failure – Due to Page Refresh; txtName.Text = ; txtQualification.Text = ; } }
