Answer 1

Since you seem to be just getting started with this now is the best time to familiarize yourself with the concept of a Data Access Layer (obligatory wikipedia link). It will be very helpful for you down the road when you're apps have more interaction with the database throughout and you want to minimize code duplication. Also makes for more consistent behavior, making testing and tons of other things easier.

Answer 2

using (SqlConnection myConnection new SqlConnection("Your connection string")) 
{ 
    SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO ... VALUES ...", myConnection); 
    myConnection.Open(); 
    myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery(); 
}

Answer 3

using (var conn = new SqlConnection(yourConnectionString))
{
    var cmd = new SqlCommand("insert into Foo values (@bar)", conn);
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@bar", 17);
    conn.Open();
    cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
