Validate the site. After the validation successful, Deploy as a Farm solution.

Click Finish.

Click Finish

Now right-click on the solution, click Add and select new item. Create a “New Visual Webpart” named “EmployeeRegistration”.

Full Code

using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
namespace EmployeeReg.EmployeeRegistration
{
[ToolboxItemAttribute(false)]
public partial class EmployeeRegistration : WebPart
{
// Uncomment the following SecurityPermission attribute only when doing Performance Profiling on a farm solution
// using the Instrumentation method, and then remove the SecurityPermission attribute when the code is ready
// for production. Because the SecurityPermission attribute bypasses the security check for callers of
// your constructor, it's not recommended for production purposes.
// [System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission(System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.Assert, UnmanagedCode = true)]
public EmployeeRegistration()
{
}
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnInit(e);
InitializeControl();
}
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
protected void btnregister_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
using(SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Web.Url))
{
using(SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
{
SPList list = web.Lists.TryGetList("Employee Registration");
if(list!=null)
{
SPListItem NewItem = list.Items.Add();
{
web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
NewItem["Employee Name"] = txtempname.Text;
NewItem["Designation"] =drpdesg.SelectedItem.ToString();
NewItem["Address"] =txtaddr.Text;
NewItem["Email"] =txtemail.Text;
NewItem["Contact No"] = txtcontact.Text;
NewItem.Update();
Alert.Text = "Registration Successful";
}
}
else
{
Alert.Text = "List not found";
}
}
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Alert.Text = ex.Message.ToString();
}
}
protected void btnclear_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
txtempname.Text = "";
txtemail.Text = "";
drpdesg.SelectedIndex = -1;
txtcontact.Text = "";
txtaddr.Text = "";
Alert.Text = "";
}
}
}

Now build the project and then Deploy solution.

Go to the site and edit the page, then add a Webpart from the custom tab.

Now Register with some details.

The data has been added into the list.

All the fields are cleared successfully.
