Unable to Insert Data Using StoredProc from C#

private void btnAdd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

string myManName = txtManName.Text;

string myContact = txtContactName.Text;

string myNumber = txtPhoneNumber.Text;

SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection();

myConnection.ConnectionString = StationInventorySystem.Properties.Settings.Default.InventoryConnectionString;

SqlCommand myInsert = new SqlCommand("dbo.InsertManufacturer", myConnection);

myInsert.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
//I wasn't sure if the commandtext was "sticking" above so I added the following line to make sure.
myInsert.CommandText = "dbo.InsertManufacturer";

SqlParameter pManID = myInsert.Parameters.Add("@ManID", SqlDbType.Int, 10);

SqlParameter pManName = myInsert.Parameters.Add("@ManName", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50);

SqlParameter pContactName = myInsert.Parameters.Add("@ContactName", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50);

SqlParameter pContactNumber = myInsert.Parameters.Add("@ContactNumber", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50);

try

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
this.Close();
}
-----------------------end code--------------------
For some reason when I execute the InsertManufacturer stored procedure from within the designer window in visual studio and supply the parameters, the record is inserted.  However, when I build my project and run the code above, the record will not be inserted.  No exception is being thrown, but for some reason the values simply are not inserted and the application continues as if nothing is wrong.  This problem is driving me nuts, so any advice you can give (even another / different way that might work) will be extremely appreciated.  I'm using Visual C# Express and SQL Server Express.
