I am trying to create a form, and then insert the values entered by a user into a sql database, I have enclosed the page code below. Everything works except the data is not being inserted into the database, and i keep getting the default message in my error message section. I took this right from the quick start tutorial and started working with it, and keep getting an error.
I believe the error is located in the INSERT statement
Put a more specific error message in while debugging:

|||Mr. Reily:
Try
MyCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
Message.InnerHtml = "Record Added<br>" & InsertCmd.ToString()
Catch Exp As SQLException
If Exp.Number = 2627
Message.InnerHtml = "ERROR: A record already exists with the " & _
"same primary key"
Else
Message.InnerHtml = "ERROR: Could not add record, please ensure " & _
"the fields are correctly filled out. Exception: " & Exp.ToString()
End IfMessage.Style("color") = "red"
End Try
Thanks for your advice. I added the detailed error message and here is what I got:
ERROR: Could not add record, please ensure the fields are correctly filled out. Exception: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Invalid column name 'txtLastName'. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior cmdBehavior, RunBehavior runBehavior, Boolean returnStream) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() at ASP.reference3_aspx.AddAuthor_Click(Object Sender, EventArgs E) in http://localhost/planetauction/reference3.aspx:line 47
I really think the error is in the insert statement. I need to put either double or single quotes around something in the insert statement, right now the database believes the value is referring to a column name, rather than inserting that data into the column specified.
Let me know what u think.
Thanks|||Thanks guys, got it all figured out.
It was the insert statment that was screwed up. For anyone else with the same problem, I simply mixed up the values, and the column names in the sql insert statements.
For Reference:
Dim InsertCmd As String = "insert into users (COLUMNNAME1, COLUMNNAME2) values (@.FIRST SQL PARAMETER LISTED BELOW, SECOND SQL PARAMETER LISTED BELOW, etc)"
MyCommand = New SqlCommand(InsertCmd, MyConnection)
MyCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@.lastname", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 50))
MyCommand.Parameters("@.lastname").Value = txtLastName.ValueMyCommand.Connection.Open()
