By using the stored procedure I can't able to insert the duplicate record but while inserting duplicate executing all the steps and it showing record inserted sucessfully but the duplicate record is not inserting in table even though am getting successful message but while inserting the duplicate record instead of executing all the steps, in front end I need to pass the message like "record alredy eixts" ..Can any one tell me how to do like this?

Create a Stored procedure and Check before insert . Here is sample Stored procedure Create PROCEDURE [dbo].[USP_YOURINSERT] ( @JOBTitle VARCHAR(30) = '', @RegID VARCHAR(20) = '', @RequirementID VARCHAR(50) = '', @ReuiredExp VARCHAR(50) = '', @JobLocation VARCHAR(50) = '', @rowNum INT =0 ) AS BEGIN IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM YOURTABLENAME WHERE JOBTitle=@JOBTitle and RegID=@RegID ) BEGIN INSERT INTO [YOURTABLENAME] (JOBTitle,RegID,RequirementID,ReuiredExp,JobLocation,rowNum) VALUES (@JOBTitle,@RegID,@RequirementID,@ReuiredExp,@JobLocation,@rowNum) GOTO S1_RTN Select 'inserted' END ELSE BEGIN Select 'JobTitle Exists' END END You can check my Article with similar Example. http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/asmabegam/insert-select-update-delete-in-Asp-Net-with-simple-login/

before insert record execute a query select id from tbl where title=@title if it returns record>0 then message 'record allready exists" else "insert record'
