Hello all,

I have a C# WPF application that I log into and I pass the user to the next screen. Then I click to go to a profile screen and if the user already has profile data I autopopulate all the fields. In my profile screen I have it so when you set the combobox to ‘Yes’ it creates the customer in the database. When you click the save button it just updates all the data. When I load the controls it sets the combobox to ‘Yes’ and it tries to recreate the customer in the DB. I get a error: “Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint. Cannot insert duplicate key into DB…” I would like to check if the user already exists in the DB and if it does so it WILL NOT create a new customer so this error will not be thrown. Or any other way to get around this. Not sure if I should check for this specific error and just console.log it or any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you. 

        //combobox selectionchanged when ‘yes’ add new customer        					
        private void CboCustomer_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            string cboValue = "";
            if (CboCustomer.SelectedIndex > 0)
                cboValue = ((ComboBoxItem)CboCustomer.SelectedItem).Content.ToString();

            if(cboValue.Equals("Yes")) // || if (CboCustomer.SelectedItem.ToString().Equals("Yes"))
            {
                boolIsCustomer = true;
                User addCustomer = null;
                Customer newCustomer = null;
