Running Multiple Commands On Single Button Click

I have a form that contains data that some of which needs to be inserted into one table and the rest updated to another table. I want this to happen on a single button click. Is this possible?
Here's what I have so far:
            String id = parm_tb_tktid.Text;
            String update = parm_tb_desc.Text;
            String status = parm_cb_status.Text;
        

            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Insert into History (tkt_id, hist_desc) values(@parm_tb_tktid, @parm_tb_desc)", HelpdeskConnectionString);
            cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@parm_tb_tktid", id);
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@parm_tb_desc", update);
           

            SqlCommand cmd1 = new SqlCommand("Update Ticket (tkt_status) values(@parm_cb_status) where tkt_id = @parm_tb_tktid)", HelpdeskConnectionString);
            cmd1.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
            cmd1.Parameters.AddWithValue("@parm_cb_status", status);

            HelpdeskConnectionString.Open();
            cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
            cmd1.ExecuteNonQuery();

            HelpdeskConnectionString.Close();
            parm_tb_tktid.Text = String.Empty;
            parm_tb_desc.Text = String.Empty;
            parm_cb_status.Text = String.Empty;
I know it isn't right, but I can't find any info on why it's wrong and how to code it properly.
