Since the comma separated values are selected from a dropdown, form this value in code behind on server side before sending it for SQL update.

So it would be

SQL

INSERT INTO tableBook 
(BookingId, RoomId)
VALUES
(1,'1,2,3')

Solution 2

You need to normalize your table.

Create a new table which now has bookingid and roomid -

booking id - roomid
-------------------
1 - 1
1 - 2
1 - 3
2 - 44

and so on...

Solution 3

Parse the int values from drop down selection @ FE convert them to another string variable and then pass it to BE query... we are doing this but in reverse order....can u tell how you are passing the values to BE?
