Hi

I have to insert grid textbox value from datatable to database.
But my code is working for single row for multi row it is not working.
Could you pls correct

const string insertsql = "INSERT INTO Items(Description,ItemNo,Qty)VALUES (";
        sb.AppendFormat("{0}", insertsql);
        foreach (string item in sc)
        {
            if (item.Contains(","))
            {
                splitItems = item.Split(",".ToCharArray());
                sb.AppendFormat("'{0}','{1}','{2}');", splitItems[0], splitItems[1], splitItems[2]);


            }
        }

In string builder i am getting the values below is example

INSERT INTO Items(Description,ItemNo,Qty)VALUES ('1','DHDHJDHJ','1');'2','BHHHH','2');"

This is my error msg Incorrect syntax near '2'.

Thanks

Doing it this way would get you proper query.

C#

foreach (string item in sc)
{
    string insertsql = "INSERT INTO Items(Description,ItemNo,Qty)VALUES (";
    sb.AppendFormat("{0}", insertsql);
    if (item.Contains(","))
    {
        splitItems = item.Split(",".ToCharArray());
        sb.AppendFormat("'{0}','{1}','{2}');", splitItems[0], splitItems[1], splitItems[2]);


    }
}
