hey friend remove

Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;

''this thing

string connstring = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=fairdealdbAnalysis;Data Source=RECEPTION\\SQLEXPRESS";

from your connection string . i think error is there no need to write provider

[pritesh2010]

yes, even hiren is right there are six column in your table and you are inserting five value so how can you save it will give you error.

[elizabeth mwash]

actually i removed the extra column and still got the same error...i don't understand the comments about the connection string.actually am certain the problem is originating from the connection string because i gr this error

Argument ExceptionUnhandled
Keyword not supported: 'provider'....while pointing at

SqlConnection sqlconn =new SqlConnection(connstring);

..

if i understand the problem am sure i'll be able to sort the problem

Do not use "Provider" type connection string with System.Data.SqlClient classes. ConnectionString used in your code-snippet must be used System.Data.OleDb data provider classes.

Take a look at MSSQL Server connection string - http://www.connectionstrings.com/sql-server-2005

[elizabeth mwash]

i don't understand you adatapost...do you mean i change me provider to oledb.

[kvprajapati]

Change connectionString value. It should be,

string connstring = "Data Source=RECEPTION\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=fairdealdbAnalysis;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;";

[elizabeth mwash]

thank you very much its not bringing any error but the data is not saved on the db and the it does not say record saved nor record not saved as i coded.the application continues to run for a long time

[pritesh2010]

can you show me the code then i can help you.other wise use System.Transaction class
for DML query.
When you start connection say begin transaction
first create a object
SqlTransaction trans =new SqlTransaction ();
trans.BeginTransaction(//Connection string);
try
{//pass trans with your command
trans.Commit();
}
catch
{
trans.rollback();
}
like this

[elizabeth mwash]
