Try changing your code to this:

SqlConnection con = connection();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.CommandText = query;
cmd.Connection = con;
con.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();           
con.Close();
cmd.Dispose();

and see if you get an exception - if the insert has failed, the database should indicate this.

It definitely isn't definatley

With regards to the query, I meant the actual string value that is being passed to the database, rather than the statement you use to construct it. Incidentally, is 'mydb' the name of the table or the name of a database containing the table (i.e. should it actually be "insert into mydb.dbo.mytable..."?).

What about the rest of the questions I asked? Have you tried running a profiler on the database to see if the query is actually received. Does the c# statement actually exectute?

A database profiler is a tool which monitors a database and reports back when certain events occur, such as connections to the database, queries, triggers etc. SQL Server comes with its own profiler called (originally enough) SQL Server Profiler - I don't tend to use other databases but I'm sure there are similar tools available for other platforms.

for inserting??

Yes that's fine. Broadly speaking, you use ExecuteNonQuery() to execute a SQL statement that doesn't return a result set, ExecuteQuery() to execute a statement that returns tabular data and ExecuteScalar() to execute a query which returns a single value (i.e. if you've done a count(*) or other scalar operation).

It definitely isn't definatley

If you want a meaningful response, you're going to have to be a lot more specific.

What exception are you getting? What line is triggering it? What query are you sending?

Good Day Vivek

Today was a long day, and seing this kind of post in the forums bores me to death. First of all when you post something here on codeproject you must use the pre tags so that the code will be formated well and it can differ from your message. secondly we cant know the problem until we see what is contained in the variable "query" , and another thing there is a bad coding practise in your code, you start returning without closing the connection.

Few companies that installed computers to reduce the employment of clerks have realized their expectations.... They now need more and more expensive clerks even though they call them "Developers" or "Programmers."

Your right, it is not necessary... when you provide a better description of what the problem is. But as everyone is having to guess how bad your code is, people are going to ask questions.

I would say you have a compile error for no catch/finally block but that's the best I can give you for the example you have shown...

Oh, no wait... it's coming to me... 'the.. answer.. is.. .. ..' ..Damn, lost it!
