trying to insert data into a database using asp.net and c#

I am trying to insert data into a table when a button on my asp.net page is clicked. I don't get any errors, but when I try to redirect the user to a new page after the information is inserted, it stays on the same page. Below is my code. 

SqlConnection db = new SqlConnection();
    db.ConnectionString = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["AboutYouEntities"].ConnectionString;
    db.Open();


    SqlCommand insertUser = new SqlCommand();
    SqlCommand insertContact = new SqlCommand();

    insertUser.CommandText = "INSERT into USER (Email, Name, Gender, BirthDate, LinuxDistro) VALUES ('" + userInfo.Email + "','" + userInfo.Name + "','" + userInfo.Gender + "','" + userInfo.BirthDate + "','" + userInfo.LinuxDistro + "')";


    insertContact.CommandText = "INSERT into CONTACT (Phone, Zip, Comments) VALUES ('" + userContact.Phone + "','" + userContact.Zip + "','" + userContact.Comments + "')";

    insertUser.ExecuteNonQuery();
    insertContact.ExecuteNonQuery();

    db.Close();

    Response.Redirect("ThankYou.aspx");

Few problems with your code:

  • You haven't attached connection with your commands.
  • USER is reserve word and should be enclosed in square brackets like [USER]
  • You should parametrized your query, you are prone to SQL Injection.
  • Consider enclosing SqlConnection and SqlCommand object in using statement as it will ensure disposal of the resources.

Code:

using (SqlConnection db = new SqlConnection())
{
    db.ConnectionString = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["AboutYouEntities"].ConnectionString;
    db.Open();
    using (SqlCommand insertUser = new SqlCommand())
    {
        insertUser.Connection = db;
        insertUser.CommandText = "INSERT into [USER] (Email, Name, Gender, BirthDate, LinuxDistro) VALUES (@Email, @Name, @Gender,@BirthDate, @LinuxDistro);";
        insertUser.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Email", userInfo.Email);
        insertUser.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Name", userInfo.Name);
        insertUser.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Gender", userInfo.Gender);
        insertUser.Parameters.AddWithValue("@BirthDate", userInfo.BirthDate);
        insertUser.Parameters.AddWithValue("@LinuxDistro", userInfo.LinuxDistro);
        insertUser.ExecuteNonQuery();
    }
    using (SqlCommand insertContact = new SqlCommand())
    {
        insertContact.Connection = db;
        insertContact.CommandText = "INSERT into CONTACT (Phone, Zip, Comments) VALUES (@Phone, @Zip, @Comments);";
        insertContact.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Phone", userContact.Phone);
        insertContact.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Zip", userContact.Zip);
        insertContact.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Comments", userContact.Comments);
        insertContact.ExecuteNonQuery();
    }
}
