problem in inserting data by this code. showing a error"unassigned value 'course' is used". please verify and correct it. :(

the error is very clear... assign a value to your course variable eg. string course = "some text"; EIDT: I assume you have no checkbox selections, but by modifying/initializing the course declaration this error should go away...

DdoubleD is right. To elaborate more on the issue take this for example:

string s;
s += "abc";

Now you're appending a value to s, but what is s? It was never assigned a value thus you have the problem. What you can do:

string s = string.Empty;
s += "abc";
