In this article I will explain with an example, how to update data into MySQL database with Stored Procedure in ASP.Net Core MVC.
Note: For beginners in ASP.Net Core 7, please refer my article ASP.Net Core 7: Hello World Tutorial with Sample Program example.
 
 

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 ;
 
 

Model

The Model class consists of following properties.
public class CustomerModel
{
    public int CustomerId { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Country { get; set; }
}
 
 

Namespaces

You will need to import the following namespaces.
using System.Data;
using MySql.Data.MySqlClient;
 
 

Controller

The Controller consists of following Action methods.

Action method for handling GET operation

Inside this Action method, simply the View is returned.
 

Action method for handling POST operation

This method accepts CustomerModel class object as a parameter.
Inside this Action method, first the connection is read from the ConnectionStrings section of the AppSettings.json file.
Note: For more details on how to read Connection String from AppSettings.json, please refer my article .Net Core 7: Read Connection String from AppSettings.json file.
 
The CustomerId, Name and Country values are fetched from their respective TextBoxes using CustomerModel class object and passed as parameter to MySqlCommand object.
Then, the ExecuteNonQuery function is executed and the records are updated into the MySQL database using Stored Procedure.
Note: For more details on how to use ExecuteNonQuery function, please refer Understanding MySqlCommand ExecuteNonQuery in C# and VB.Net.
 
Finally, based on whether the record is updated or not an appropriate message is set into ViewBag object and View is returned.
public class HomeController : Controller
{
    public IConfiguration Configuration { get; set; }
 
    public HomeController(IConfiguration _configuration)
    {
        this.Configuration = _configuration;
    }
 
    public IActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }
 
    [HttpPost]
    public IActionResult Index(CustomerModel customer)
    {
        string spName = "Customers_UpdateCustomer";
        string constr = this.Configuration.GetSection("ConnectionStrings")["MyConn"];
        using (MySqlConnection con = new MySqlConnection(constr))
        {
            using (MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand(spName, con))
            {
                cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CustomerId", customer.CustomerId);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Name", customer.Name);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Country", customer.Country);
                con.Open();
                int i = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
                con.Close();
                if (i > 0)
                {
                    ViewBag.Message = "Customer record updated.";
                }
                else
                {
                    ViewBag.Message = "Customer not found.";
                }
            }
        }
        return View();
    }
}
 
 

View

HTML Markup

Inside the View, in the very first line the CustomerModel class is declared as Model for the View.
The View consists of an HTML Form which has been created using the following TagHelpers attributes.
asp-action – Name of the Action. In this case the name is Index.
asp-controller – Name of the Controller. In this case the name is Home.
method – It specifies the Form Method i.e. GET or POST. In this case it will be set to POST.
The View also consists of an HTML Table, which consists of three HTML INPUT TextBoxes and a Submit Button.
 

Submitting the Form

When the Update Button is clicked then, the ViewBag object is checked for NULL and if it is not NULL then, the value of the ViewBag object is displayed using JavaScript Alert Message Box.
@model Update_SP_MySQL_Core.Models.CustomerModel
@addTagHelper*, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers
@{
    Layout = null;
}
 
<!DOCTYPE html>
 
<html>
<head>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
    <title>Index</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form method="post" asp-controller="Home" asp-action="Index">
        <table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1">
          <tr>
            <td>
                Id<br />
                <input type="text" asp-for="CustomerId" style="width: 60px;" />
            </td>
            <td>
                Name<br />
                <input type="text" asp-for="Name" style="width: 150px;" />
            </td>
            <td>
                Country:<br />
                <input type="text" asp-for="Country" style="width: 150px;" />
            </td>
            <td>
                <br />
                <input type="submit" value="Update" />
            </td>
          </tr>
        </table>
    </form>
    @if (ViewBag.Message != null)
    {
        <script type="text/javascript">
            window.onload = function () {
                alert("@ViewBag.Message");
            };
        </script>
    }
</body>
</html>
