Try:

query = "Insert into testing values('" + txtEmpId.Text + "','" + txtEmpName.Text + "')"; query = "Insert into testing values('" + txtEmpId.Text + "','" + txtEmpName.Text + "')";

In C# you use + to concatenate strings, not the VB & operator.

Well you did it right! :)
Did the + operator fix the problem you were having with the string concatenation?
