I'm new to web development and right now I'm working on a website. I have a problem with a Save button on an ASP.Net (front end) web form (back end is in C#). The button is supposed to save data entered in a textbox to a database.
When the Save button is clicked the first time, the page just 'reloads' and clear the textbox and nothing is saved in the SQL Server database (dbo connection). Then when I click the same 'Save' button a second time after re-entering information in the textbox, it actually saves to the database and goes back to a main menu page (as expected). And if I try to re-enter different information, the save button will be working just fine.
The problem happens when a user logs in and navigate to the page where he enters the data and saves it. It will never ever work the first time.
Unfortunately because of confidential purposes, I have to omit and rename certain file paths/directories and tables name!
Here's my Asp.NET code:
<%@ Page Language="C#" debug="True" Inherits="Default" src="Default.cs" AutoEventWireup ="true"%>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="ob" TagName="ComboTree" Src="/obout/Combotree/ComboTree.ascx" %>

And here's the (back end) code for the Save button written in C#:
public void btnSave_OnClick(object sender, System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs E){
int counter = int.Parse(Request.Cookies["counter"].Value);
counter++;
Response.Cookies["counter"].Value = counter.ToString();
try{
SqlConnection Conn = GetConnection();
string SQL;
SqlCommand Cmd;
SqlDataReader Dtr;
if(hdFileID.Value=="")
{
Response.Write("Executing Save (adding new folder to DB");
SQL = "EXEC sp_File_Add @Name,@Description,@UserID";
Response.Write("Save successfully executed. Added to DB");
}
else
{
Response.Write("Executing Save (saving info of folder to DB");
SQL = "EXEC sp_File_Update @Name,@Description,@UserID,@FileID";
Response.Write("Save successfully executed. Saved to DB");
}
Cmd = new SqlCommand(SQL,Conn);
Cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Name", SqlDbType.VarChar));
Cmd.Parameters["@Name"].Value = tbName.Text;
Cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Description", SqlDbType.Text));
Cmd.Parameters["@Description"].Value = tbDescription.Text;
Cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@UserID", SqlDbType.Int));
Cmd.Parameters["@UserID"].Value = Convert.ToInt32(hdUserID_Global.Value);
if(hdFileID.Value!="")
{
Cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@FileID", SqlDbType.Int));
Cmd.Parameters["@FileID"].Value = Convert.ToInt32(hdFolderID.Value);
}
Cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
if(hdFileID.Value=="")
{
SQL = "SELECT MAX(FileID) AS FileID FROM tbl_File WHERE CreatedByUserID=@UserID";
Cmd = new SqlCommand(SQL,Conn);
Cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@UserID", SqlDbType.Int));
Cmd.Parameters["@UserID"].Value = Convert.ToInt32(hdUserID_Global.Value);
Dtr = Cmd.ExecuteReader();
if(Dtr.Read())
{
hdFileID.Value = Dtr["FileID"].ToString();
}
Dtr.Close();
}
SQL = "DELETE FROM tbl_FileLicense ";
SQL += " WHERE FileID=@FileID ";
Cmd = new SqlCommand(SQL,Conn);
Cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@FileID", SqlDbType.Int));
Cmd.Parameters["@FileID"].Value = Convert.ToInt32(hdFileID.Value.ToString());
Cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
if(ddLicense.Visible)
{
SQL = "EXEC sp_doc_Folder_Add @FileID,@LicenseID,@UserID";
Response.Write("Save successfully executed. Added to DB");
Cmd = new SqlCommand(SQL,Conn);
Cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@FolderID", SqlDbType.Int));
Cmd.Parameters["@FileID"].Value = Convert.ToInt32(hdFileID.Value.ToString());
Cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@LicenseID", SqlDbType.Int));
Cmd.Parameters["@LicenseID"].Value = Convert.ToInt32(ddLicense.SelectedItem.Value.ToString());
Cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@UserID", SqlDbType.Int));
Cmd.Parameters["@UserID"].Value = Convert.ToInt32(hdUserID_Global.Value);
Cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
else
{
}
Conn.Close();
Response.Redirect("/Library/Default2.aspx?FileID=" + Request["RootFileID"].ToString());
Response.End();
}
catch (Exception e){
Response.Write("An error occurred while saving: " + e);
Response.End();
}
}
I've been struggling for more than 2 days on that and I don't see why the button is not firing the first time but only as from the 2nd time. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I got it to work by adding EnableViewState = False in the <FORM runat="server"> tag in the asp.NET code
