Answer 1

let the connectionstrin be : string pp = @"Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA\AdventureWorks2012_Data.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30";

and update task be the below mentioned :

  public async Task callupdate()
        {
            try
            {
                int ppp = Convert.ToInt32(textBox1ID.Text);
                DataClasses1DataContext dc = new DataClasses1DataContext(pp);

                Person person = dc.Persons.Single(c => c.BusinessEntityID == ppp);
                person.PersonType = Convert.ToString(PersonTypecomboBox1.SelectedItem);
                person.PersonType = Convert.ToString(PersonTypecomboBox1.SelectedItem);
                if (NameStylecomboBox1.SelectedText == "False")
                    person.NameStyle = false;
                else
                    person.NameStyle = true;
                person.Title = Convert.ToString(TitlecomboBox1.SelectedItem);
                person.FirstName = FirstNametextBox2.Text;
                person.MiddleName = MiddleNametextBox3.Text;
                person.LastName = LastNametextBox4.Text;
                person.Suffix = SuffixtextBox5.Text;
                person.EmailPromotion = Convert.ToInt32(EmailPromotiontextBox6.Text);
                person.ModifiedDate = DateTime.Today;
                dc.SubmitChanges();
            }
            catch(Exception exp)
                {

                }

        }

instead of DataClasses1DataContext dc = new DataClasses1DataContext();

DataClasses1DataContext dc = new DataClasses1DataContext(pp);

Vby calling SubmitChanges() the update data that is the object of our class is actually being written in the actual database
