Problem Inserting Data Into SQL Server 2005 DB From WebForm Controls

Hello all,

I am having problems running a stored proc from an aspx.cs file. Basically I want to extract data from webForm controls and create a new record in a DB table. I have watched the "Getting Started" videos on thi site, and the only difference between my code and the code of the demonstrator is the connection string.   My conn string:- dataSrc.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ProjectTblConnString"].ConnectionString;Demonstrator conn string:- dataSrc.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ProjectTblConnString");When I debug with the string as shown by the demonstrator the error list reports that ConnectionStrings is a property and I am trying to use it as a mothod,
which is fair enough, but I am just confused as how it worked for the demonstrator and not myself. When I debug with the code I used above I get no error, but nothing is inserted in the DB.Also, it looks as if the only class in my aspx.cs file that is actually being executed is PageLoad() - the remainder of the code seems to be ignored. Below is the entired aspx.cs file:- 1 using System;
2 using System.Data;
3 using System.Configuration;
4 using System.Collections;
5 using System.Web;
6 using System.Web.Security;
7 using System.Web.UI;
8 using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
9 using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
10 using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
11
12 public partial class CreateProject : System.Web.UI.Page
13 {
14 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
15 {
16
17 if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated == false)
18 {
19 Server.Transfer("Default.aspx");
20 }
21
22 if (chkbox_startDate.Checked == true)
23 {
24 txtbox_startDate.ReadOnly = true;
25 txtbox_startDate.Text = (System.DateTime.Now.ToString());
26 }
27
28 }
29
30 protected void btn_create_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
31 {
32 //connection string for connecting to SQL Server DB
33 SqlDataSource dataSrc = new SqlDataSource();
34 dataSrc.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ProjectTblConnString"].ConnectionString;
35
36
37 //insert data in table using the CreateNewProject stored proc in the DB
38 dataSrc.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.StoredProcedure;
39 dataSrc.InsertCommand = "CreateNewProject";
40 dataSrc.InsertParameters.Add("Project_Title", txtbox_title.ToString() );
41 dataSrc.InsertParameters.Add("Description", txtbox_desc.ToString() );
42 dataSrc.InsertParameters.Add("Start_Date", txtbox_startDate.ToString() );
43 dataSrc.InsertParameters.Add("Primary_Dev_Lang", list_devLang.ToString() );
44 dataSrc.InsertParameters.Add("Dev_Environment", list_devEnv.ToString() );
45 dataSrc.InsertParameters.Add("No_Junior_Devs", txtbox_juniorDevs.ToString() );
46 dataSrc.InsertParameters.Add("No_Senior_Devs", txtbox_seniorDevs.ToString() );
47
48 int rowsAffected = 0;
49 try
50 {
51 rowsAffected = dataSrc.Insert();
52 }
53 catch (Exception ex)
54 {
55 Server.Transfer(Error.aspx);
56 }
57 finally
58 {
59 dataSrc = null;
60 }
61
62 if (rowsAffected != 1)
63 {
64 label_confirm.Text = "Error, Contact system admin";
65 }
66 else
67 {
68 label_confirm.Text = "Success";
69 }
70
71 }//end btn_create
72
73 //if cancel is clicked set all values back to default
74 protected void btn_cancel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
75 {
76 txtbox_title.Text = "";
77 txtbox_desc.Text = "";
78 txtbox_startDate.Text = "";
79 txtbox_seniorDevs.Text = "";
80 txtbox_juniorDevs.Text = "";
81 list_devEnv.SelectedIndex = 0;
82 list_devLang.SelectedIndex = 0;
83 chkbox_startDate.Checked = true;
84 label_confirm.Text = "";
85 }
86
87 //if checked the current dateTime is inserted into txtbox
88 protected void chkbox_startDate_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
89 {
90 if (chkbox_startDate.Checked == true)
91 {
92 txtbox_startDate.ReadOnly = true;
93 txtbox_startDate.Text = (System.DateTime.Now.ToString());
94 }
95 else
96 {
97 txtbox_startDate.ReadOnly = false;
98 txtbox_startDate.Text = "";
99 }
100 }//end chkox
101
102
103 }//end class
