Run a Stored Procedure via a click of a button in .Net web page - sqlconnection

Question

Afternoon All,
I have a stored procedure in an SQL 2005 database named GasNominationsRawData_Insert.
When executed this simply extracts some data from another database and inserts the result into a table. This query works fine.
What i need to do is enable this to be executed on the click on a button on my web page. I have had a good luck around the internet have have managed to create the following code in my .net 2008 web page. But i think im either missing something or i have have completly the wrong code. Im new to programming in .Net but i understand that i need to delclare the stored procedure, create the SQL connection, create the command line, open the conection, execute the query and then close the connection.
I dont need or have any parameters. Essentially this button is just used to push data to a table.
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Partial Class RawData
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub btnAddRawData_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAddRawData.Click
'Declare Stored Procedure
Dim GasNominationsRawData_Insert As String = "GasNominationsRawData_Insert"
'Declare SQL Connection (This is the connection string located on the web.config page)
Dim SQLConn As SqlConnection
SQLConn = New SqlConnection("GasNominationsDataConnectionString")
'Declare command
Dim SqlComm As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("GasNominationsRawData_Insert", SQLConn)
SqlComm.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
Try
'Open SQL Connection
SQLConn.Open()
'Execute Query
SqlComm.ExecuteNonQuery()
'Close connection
SQLConn.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
Throw (ex)
End Try
End Sub
End Class
Any Help is much appreciated.
Regards Betty

Answer 1

Upps. I overlooked that. You're trying to connect to your database with the connectionstring: "GasNominationsDataConnectionString". That's of course no correct connection string.
Your connection string should look somehow like that:
"Data Source=myServerAddress;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;User Id=myUsername;Password=myPassword;"
So you have to get your connection string first out of your web.config like
Dim GasNominationsDataConnectionString As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("GasNominationsDataConnectionString").ConnectionString

Looks fine at a first glance. So what happens on clicking the button? Have you assured that your btnAddRawData_Click is called when the button is clicked?
