using System.Linq;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.UI;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

using InsertODataSPApp.ServiceReference1;

namespace InsertODataSPApp

{

public partial class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page

{

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

}

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox1.Text) || string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox2.Text) || string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox3.Text))

{

Label5.Text = "Please Enter Some Values";

Label5.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;

}

else

{

MainSiteDataContext objContext = new MainSiteDataContext(new Uri("http://win-kv3bo1rqqf7:24144/_vti_bin/ListData.svc"));

objContext.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

objContext.AddToStudent(new StudentItem

{

FirstName = TextBox1.Text, LastName = TextBox2.Text, Age = int.Parse(TextBox3.Text)

}

);

objContext.SaveChanges();

Label5.Text = "Record Inserted Successfully";

Label5.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;

TextBox1.Text = string.Empty;

TextBox2.Text = string.Empty;

TextBox3.Text = string.Empty;

}

}

Step 7: The output of the application looks like this:

Step 8: The inserted data output of the application looks like this:
