    <p>First execute a query to get the ID with ExecuteScalar. If it returns a not null value (meaning that you have found the Title) you have your ID. Else execute the insert of the new data.</p> <p>Meanwhile, do not use string concatenation to execute sql commands. (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/332365/xkcd-sql-injection-please-explain">SQL Injections</a>)</p> <pre><code>string sql2 = "Insert into tbDepartment ([Title], [Abbreviation]) values (@Desc, @DepCode)"; string sqlDep = "Select [ID] from tbDepartment where Title = @title" SqlCommand cmdDep = new SqlCommand(sqlDep, connection); cmdDep.Parameters.AddWithValue("@title", gridView3.GetRowCellValue(i, gridView3.Columns[DepCode]).ToString(); object result = cmdDep.ExecuteScalar(); if(result != null) { cmdDep.Parameters.Clear(); cmdDep.CommandText = sql2; cmdDep.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Desc", Convert.ToString(gridView3.GetRowCellValue(i, gridView3.Columns[DepDesc]); cmdDep.Parameters.AddWithValue("@DepCode", Convert.ToString(gridView3.GetRowCellValue(i, gridView3.Columns[DepCode])); cmdDep.ExecuteNonQuery(); } else int id = Convert.ToInt32(result); </code></pre> <p>A part from this, there is something that <strong>is not quite correct</strong> in your query above. You get the value to search for <code>Title</code> from <code>gridView3.GetRowCellValue(i, gridView3.Columns[DepCode])</code> But in the insert query you use this same grid cell to update the value for the column <code>Abbreviation</code> while the <code>Title</code> column is updated using another cell <code>gridView3.GetRowCellValue(i, gridView3.Columns[DepDesc]))</code> probably the correct insert text is:</p> <pre><code>string sql2 = "Insert into tbDepartment ([Title], [Abbreviation]) values (@DepCode, @Desc)"; </code></pre>

Querying!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
