You are giving 4 of the parameters the same name. Without a doubt this will cause problems - I think you meant to increment each one but stopped at @Val3. Since you are creating this command and only running it once, you don't really need to use parameters, just a simple string with your values in it would work just fine.

As for the exception - where is this connection string being explicitly set (or is it being set at all?)

[hericles]

Is the name of you unit moduleconnectionstring correct in your config file? It looks like, for the some reason, the connection isn't being returned. Easiest thing to do is debug the function that calls the string and see what the output is.
Also, as you're dealing with unfiltered user input, using parameters in your query statement is OK. You should never give the user the ability to type text that will end up being directly entered into a query (it called SQl injection).
Well spotted with the copied parameter names, Skatamatic. Copy and paste gets us all at some point:)

[ashutosh_nigam]

You write same statement which cause error for other variables of Insert statement

                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Val1", Itemtype.Text);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Val1", Username.Text);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Val1", MDIunitcode.Text);
