In this article I will explain with an example, how to insert (save) Hijri Date in SQL Server Database table using ASP.Net MVC.
 
 
Database
I have made use of the following table IslamicEvents with the schema as follows.

Model
The following Model class consists of two properties.
public class IslamicEventModel
{
    public string EventName { get; set; }
    public string HijriDate { get; set; }
}
 
 
Namespaces
You will need to import the following namespaces.
using System.Configuration;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
 
 
Controllers
The Controller consists of following two Action methods.
Action method for handling GET operation
Inside this Action method, simply the View is returned.
 
Action method for handling POST operation
The Action method for POST operation accepts IslamicEventModel as Parameter. The values posted from the Form inside the View are received through this parameter.
The received values are then inserted into the SQL Server database table.
public class HomeController : Controller
{
    // GET: Home
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }
 
    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Index(IslamicEventModel islamicEvent)
    {
        string constring = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["constr"].ConnectionString;
        using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(constring))
        {
            using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO IslamicEvents VALUES (@Event, @Date)", con))
            {
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Event", islamicEvent.EventName);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Date", islamicEvent.HijriDate);
                con.Open();
                cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
                con.Close();
            }
        }
 
        return RedirectToAction("Index");
    }
}
 
 
View
Inside the View, in the very first line the IslamicEventModel class is declared as model for the View.
The View consists of an HTML Form which has been created using the Html.BeginForm method with the following parameters.
ActionName – Name of the Action. In this case the name is Index.
ControllerName – Name of the Controller. In this case the name is Home.
FormMethod – It specifies the Form Method i.e. GET or POST. In this case it will be set to POST.
Inside the HTML Form there are two TextBox field created for capturing value for Event name and Hijri date and a Submit Button.
The TextBoxes are created using the Html.TextBox method of HTML Helper class.
 
Implementing Bootstrap Hijri DatePicker plugin
Inside the jQuery document ready event handler, the HijriDate TextBox has been applied with the Bootstrap Hijri DatePicker plugin.
Note: For more details on how to implement Bootstrap Hijri DatePicker plugin, please refer my article, How to display Hijri (Islamic) calendar (DatePicker) in ASP.Net MVC.
 
Form Submit
When the Submit Button is clicked the form is submitted to the Controllers Action Method.
@model Hijri_Date_Insert_MVC.Models.IslamicEventModel
@{
    Layout = null;
}
