Question

I want to execute a .sql script from C#. Basically the script inserts a row into few different tables.

The point is I have values in C# code that I need

Answer 1

You'll need the System.Data.SqlCommand class.

Change the fixed values to named parameters. For example:

INSERT INTO [TABLE] (Column1) values (@Value1) // the @Value1 is the named parameter

Example:

var connection = new SqlConnection("connectionstring");
var command = connection.CreateCommand();
command.CommandText = "insert...."; // sql command with named parameters

// set the named parameter values
command.Parameters["@Value1"] = "Mark wa...";

// execute 
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
