Introduction
In this post, I am explain how to insert data into sql server databse using jquery (post method) in asp.net MVC 4 Application.Steps :
Step - 1 : Create New Project.
Go to File > New > Project > Select asp.net MVC4 web application > Entry Application Name > Click OK > Select Internet Application > Select view engine Razor > OKStep-2: Add a Database.
Go to Solution Explorer > Right Click on App_Data folder > Add > New item > Select SQL Server Database Under Data > Enter Database name > Add.Step-3: Create table for fetch data.
Open Database > Right Click on Table > Add New Table > Add Columns > Save > Enter table name > Ok.Step-4: Add Entity Data Model.
Go to Solution Explorer > Right Click on Project name form Solution Explorer > Add > New item > Select ADO.net Entity Data Model under data > Enter model name > Add.A popup window will come (Entity Data Model Wizard) > Select Generate from database > Next >
Chose your data connection > select your database > next > Select tables > enter Model Namespace > Finish.
Step-5: Apply Validation On Model.
Open your model and add validation. Please follow below codenamespace MVCAjaxSave { using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations; public partial class ContactInfo { public int ID { get; set; } [Required(ErrorMessage="Contact Name required!", AllowEmptyStrings=false)] public string ContactName { get; set; } [Required(ErrorMessage="Contact No required!", AllowEmptyStrings=false)] public string ContactNo { get; set; } } }
Step-6: Add a new Controller.
Go to Solution Explorer > Right Click on Controllers folder form Solution Explorer > Add > Controller > Enter Controller name > Select Templete "empty MVC Controller"> Add.Step-7: Add new action into your controller for save data.
Here I have added "Save" Action into "Ajax" Controller. Please write this following codepublic ActionResult Save() { return View(); }
Step-8: Add view for the Action & design.
Right Click on Action Method (here right click on form action) > Add View... > Enter View Name > Select View Engine (Razor) > Check "Create a strong-typed view" > Select your model class > Add.[N:B:Please Rebuild solution before add view.]
Step-9: Add jquery code for save data to the server.
Jquery Code<script> $(document).ready(function () { $("#AjaxPost").click(function () { $("#content").html("<b>Please Wait...</b>"); var dataObject = { ContactName: $("#ContactName").val(), ContactNo : $("#ContactNo").val() }; $.ajax({ url: "@Url.Action("Save","Ajax")", type: "POST", data: dataObject, dataType: "json", success: function (data) { if (data.toString() == "Successfully Saved!") { $("#ContactName").val(''); $("#ContactNo").val(''); $("#content").html("<div class='success'>"+data+"</div>"); } else { $("#content").html("<div class='failed'>" + data + "</div>"); } }, error: function () { $("#content").html("<div class='failed'>Error! Please try again</div>"); } }); }); }); </script>Complete View
@model MVCAjaxSave.ContactInfo @{ ViewBag.Title = "Ajax Save - Contact Info"; } <style> .success { border:solid 1px rgb(13,109,0); width:300px; padding:5px; background-color:rgb(215,255,218); } .failed { border:solid 1px red; width:300px; padding:5px; background-color:rgb(255,229,229); } </style> <h2 style="font-size:12pt; font-weight:bold;">Ajax Save - Contact Info</h2> @using (Html.BeginForm()) { @Html.ValidationSummary(true) <fieldset style="background-color:#ffffff"> <legend>Contact Info</legend> <div style="padding:20px;"> <div class="editor-label"> Contact Name </div> <div class="editor-field"> @Html.EditorFor(model => model.ContactName) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.ContactName) </div> <div class="editor-label"> Contact No </div> <div class="editor-field"> @Html.EditorFor(model => model.ContactNo) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.ContactNo) </div> <p> <input type="button" value="Save" id="AjaxPost"/> </p> <div id="content"> </div> </div> </fieldset> } <div> @Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index") </div> @section Scripts { @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval") <script> $(document).ready(function () { $("#AjaxPost").click(function () { $("#content").html("<b>Please Wait...</b>"); var dataObject = { ContactName: $("#ContactName").val(), ContactNo : $("#ContactNo").val() }; $.ajax({ url: "@Url.Action("Save","Ajax")", type: "POST", data: dataObject, dataType: "json", success: function (data) { if (data.toString() == "Successfully Saved!") { $("#ContactName").val(''); $("#ContactNo").val(''); $("#content").html("<div class='success'>"+data+"</div>"); } else { $("#content").html("<div class='failed'>" + data + "</div>"); } }, error: function () { $("#content").html("<div class='failed'>Error! Please try again</div>"); } }); }); }); </script> }
Step-10: Step-10: Add another action into your controller for Save Data to the server.
Here I have added "Save" Action into "Ajax" Controller for POST Action. Please write this following code[HttpPost] public ActionResult Save(ContactInfo CI) { string message = ""; if (ModelState.IsValid) { try { using (MyDatabaseEntities dc = new MyDatabaseEntities()) { dc.ContactInfoes.Add(CI); dc.SaveChanges(); message = "Successfully Saved!"; } } catch (Exception ex) { message = "Error! Please try again."; } } else { message = "Please provide required fields value."; } if (Request.IsAjaxRequest()) { return new JsonResult { Data = message, JsonRequestBehavior = JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet }; } else { ViewBag.Message = message; return View(CI); } }
Step-11: Run Application.
