Extension for Datagridview row to pass the value for SQL Server

Question

I made a datagridview and I need to pass my datagridview data to a SQL Server database. For that I have created all the codes and after a button click I want to pass those value so I made a code following but it is giving me an error that this does not contain a definition for .Text and no extension method for text. It is giving me an error line under .Text so what is the correct extension method for text.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   // Adding Values to Data Base
   string mySQL = "INSERT INTO Employee_login VALUES ("
     + Convert.ToInt32(dataGridView1.Rows[RowCount - 1].Cells[0].Text.Trim()) + ", '"
     + dataGridView1.Rows[RowCount - 1].Cells[1].Text.Trim() + "','";
}

Answer 1

You need to be calling the .Value property on your dataGridView1, not the .Text property.

Something like this:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  // Adding Values to Data Base
  string mySQL = "INSERT INTO Employee_login VALUES ("
   + Convert.ToInt32(dataGridView1.Rows[RowCount - 1].Cells[0].Value) + ", '"
   + dataGridView1.Rows[RowCount - 1].Cells[1].Value + "','";
}

You didn't mention in your post however, if you actually need to call the .Trim() method; which will not work in this case using .Value.

Answer 2

Try using this to databind. You will not have to manually enter values into the database if so.

SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(@"Your connection string");
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
SqlDataAdapter dataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from Employee_login", conn);
dataGridView1.DataSource = dt; 
dataAdapter.Fill(dt);

On the button click event you can provide something like

dataAdapter.Update(dt)
