In this article I will explain with an example, how to update data into MySQL database with Stored Procedure using Dapper library in ASP.Net using C# and VB.Net.
 
 

Installing Dapper package using Nuget

In order to install Dapper library using Nuget, please refer my article Install Dapper from Nuget in Visual Studio.
 
 

Database

I have made use of the following table Customers with the schema as follows.

I have already inserted few records in the table.

Stored Procedure

The following Stored Procedure will be used to Update data into the MySQL database table.
This Stored Procedure accepts CustomerId, Name and Country parameters, which are used to UPDATE the records in Customers Table.
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE Customers_UpdateCustomer(
    IN CustomerId INT,
    IN Name VARCHAR(100) ,
    IN Country VARCHAR(50)
)
BEGIN
    UPDATE Customers
    SET Name = Name,
        Country = Country
    WHERE Customers.CustomerId = CustomerId;
END//
DELIMITER ;
 
 

HTML Markup

The HTML Markup consists of following controls:
TextBox – For capturing the values of CustomerId, Name and Country.
Button – For updating record.
The Button has been assigned with an OnClick event handler.
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tr>
        <td style="width: 60px">Id<br />
            <asp:TextBox ID="txtId" runat="server" Width="50px" />
        </td>
        <td style="width: 150px">Name<br />
            <asp:TextBox ID="txtName" runat="server" Width="140px" />
        </td>
        <td style="width: 150px">Country:<br />
            <asp:TextBox ID="txtCountry" runat="server" Width="140px" />
        </td>
        <td style="width: 200px">
            <br />
            <asp:Button Text="Update" runat="server" OnClick="OnUpdate" />
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>
 
 

Namespaces

You will need to import the following namespaces.
C#
using Dapper;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using MySql.Data.MySqlClient;
 
VB.Net
Imports Dapper
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Configuration
Imports MySql.Data.MySqlClient
 
 

Updating with Stored Procedure using Dapper from MySQL Database in ASP.Net

When Update button is clicked, first the connectiong is read from Web.Config file.
Note: For more details on how to read connection string from Web.Config file, please refer my article Read or Write Connection Strings in Web.Config file using ASP.Net using C# and VB.Net.
 
Then, the name of the Stored Procedure and an object with CustomerId, Name and Country values are passed to the Execute method of the Dapper library which then updates the record in the Customers Table.
Note For more details on Execute method, please refer my article Understanding Dapper Execute in MySQL in C# and VB.Net.
 
Finally, based on whether record is updated or not, an appropriate message is displayed in JavaScript Alert Message Box using RegisterStartupScript method.
C#
protected void OnUpdate(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string spName = "Customers_UpdateCustomer";
    string constr = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["constr"].ConnectionString;
    using (MySqlConnection con = new MySqlConnection(constr))
    {
        int customerId = int.Parse(txtId.Text);
        string name = txtName.Text;
        string country = txtCountry.Text;
        int i = con.Execute(spName, new { customerId, name, country }, commandType: CommandType.StoredProcedure);
        if (i > 0)
        {
            ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "alert", "alert('Customer record updated.');", true);
        }
        else
        {
            ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "alert", "alert('Customer not found.');", true);
        }
    }
}
 
VB.Net
Protected Sub OnUpdate(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    Dim spName As String = "Customers_UpdateCustomer"
    Dim constr As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("constr").ConnectionString
    Using con As MySqlConnection = New MySqlConnection(constr)
        Dim customerId As Integer = Integer.Parse(txtId.Text)
        Dim name As String = txtName.Text
        Dim country As String = txtCountry.Text
        Dim i As Integer = con.Execute(spName, New With {customerId, name, country}, commandType:=CommandType.StoredProcedure)
        If i > 0 Then
            ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType(), "alert", "alert('Customer record updated.');", True)
        Else
            ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType(), "alert", "alert('Customer not found.');", True)
        End If
    End Using
End Sub
