@superjj

So where does id value come from? Looks like you add a blank value there.

Declared at the top and then used while blank if we assume no code isnt written there.

[superjj]

The ID need to be recovert from the database.

[MikeyIsMe]

Ah fair enough then, also skimmed over the 12. id++; on my first read through. :)

[rehanul.bappy]

The Id Should be Checked with database? if Date,Month,Year is checked with Database the number will be increase by 1.

[MikeyIsMe]

I believe the intention is the last ID would be retrieved from the database and id set to that.

• What database are you using?

• What's the table name?

• What's the ID column name?

try this

int id ;
sqlconnection con = new sqlconnection("your connection string");
sqlcommand cmd = new sqlcommand();
con.Open();
cmd.Connection = con;
cmd.CommandText = "select  isnull(max(loading_record)) + 1  from testing ";
sqldatareader dr = cmd.executereader();

while(dr.read())
{
id = convert.toInt16( dr["loading_record"].toString());
}
string ID = "PA-"+DateTime.Now.Day+"-"+DateTime.Now.Month+"-"+DateTime.Now.Year+"-"+id;
dr.close()
con.close

Ok.
My C# Code is for To Autogenerate the Id Number.
Suppose There is a Id Like PA-12-08-0001.Where 12 is The Year,08 is the Month,and 0001 is the Id.If The Month will change, the Id number should be start from 0001 and increment it, Like PA-12-09-0001,PA-12-09-0002. also when year will change the month should be change and the Id will start from 0001 Like PA-13-01-0001,PA-13-01-0002. if the month and year is not changing the ID will be Increment like PA-12-08-0002,PA-12-08-0003 and so on.
I cant do This. Can You Help me in code

int id;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string ID = "PA-"+DateTime.Now.Day+"-"+DateTime.Now.Month+"-"+DateTime.Now.Year+"-"+id;
id++;
MessageBox.Show(ID);
}

this is good, but how will i code it, like if you click button1 the d++ will appear in the database is like this PA-12-02-2013-01..as always it will start in 0.
