Syntax error near Desc SQL , error shows on cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

I am trying to issue an Insert statement in C# for an Accounting Application and i stumble into some problems which says it has an Error on Line 88 Which happens to fall here 

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    using (SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(constring))
    {
        cn.Open();
        if (choice.Text == "DEPOSIT")
        {
            double newAccBal = Convert.ToDouble(opening_amount.Text) + Convert.ToDouble(amount.Text);
            string newBal = newAccBal.ToString();
            string sql = "insert into credit (fullname,accountNo,opening_amount,amount,desc,newBal) values (@fullname,@accountNo,@opening_amount,@amount,@desc,@newBal)";
            using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, cn))
            {
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@fullname", fullname.Text);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@accountNo", textBox3.Text);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@opening_amount", opening_amount.Text);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@amount", amount.Text);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@desc", desc.Text);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@newBal", newBal);

                try
                {
                    var msg = MessageBox.Show("Information to be Sent for Deposit" + Environment.NewLine + "Please Confirm to Continue?", "Information", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question);
                    if (msg == DialogResult.Yes)
                    {
                        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); <------------------------------ This Area
                        string confirmation = "Full Name : '"+fullname.Text+"' "+Environment.NewLine+" Depositing Amount : '"+amount.Text+"' "+Environment.NewLine+" Description : '"+desc.Text+"' "+Environment.NewLine+" New Balance : '"+newBal+"'";
                        MessageBox.Show("Deposit Successful" + Environment.NewLine + "Information has been Saved for Records" + Environment.NewLine + "Confirmation is as follows" + Environment.NewLine + confirmation ,"Information", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
                    }

                    string sql2 = "update account_info set opening_amount = '"+newBal+"' where id='"+id.Text+"'";
                    using (SqlCommand cmd2 = new SqlCommand(sql2, cn))
                    {
                        cmd2.ExecuteNonQuery();
                    }
                }
                catch(Exception ex)
                {
                    MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

DESC is a reserved word in SQL, short for descending and used in ORDER BY clauses. Wrap it in square brackets in your SQL statement.

You named one of your columns desc. However, that is a reserved word. You will either have to pick a different column name (might be a smart choice) or use a way to make sure your DBMS recognizes you mean your column, not the reserved word. You can use [and ] to annotate names: [desc] should work.
