CRUD Operation Without Database In ASP.NET

I am going to explain about how to perform CRUD operations without using a database; i.e., I have neither used any database of SQL Server nor used any connection string. I took here an example that creates a bill of a grocery shop. Follow along step by step

Step 1

  • We have to create a Webpage, for which we open the Visual Studio -> new option and select the new Website.

  • Chose an “ASP.NET Empty Web Site” and give a solution name. For example: I took an example “Customer Bill”.



  • Right click on the Solution Explorer, go to Add option, select Add New Item option and select Web form and click Add option.

Step 2

After adding the Web form, we have to design my web page, according to my requirement, so here, I took a table and within a table, five textboxes, one button and a grid view.

Default.aspx

Step 3

Now, we have to perform logic for CRUD operation, so for this, right click the design page and select view code.

Here, I have used datatable for the dynamic generated table.

Default.aspx.cs

 

  1. using System;  
  2. using System.Collections.Generic;  
  3. using System.Linq;  
  4. using System.Web;

  6. using System.Web.UI.WebControls;  
  7. using System.Data;  
  8. public partial class Default2: System.Web.UI.Page  
  9. {

Step 4

Now, we finally run the project and see the output.

Output



Fill all the Text-boxes and click Add Employee button to see the result.

Similarly, I added five records here, for an example.



Afterwards, click the Edit button to update the record.



After making the changes, click update button.



Afterwards, click delete button.
