How to insert data into sql server databse using jquery (post method) in asp.net MVC 4 Application.

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 > OK

Step-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.
In this example, I have used one tables as below


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 code

            namespace 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 code

             public 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">

                    <div class="editor-field">
                        @Html.EditorFor(model => model.ContactName)
                        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.ContactName)
                    </div>

                    <div class="editor-label">

                    <div id="content">

                        </div>

            }

            <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.
