Receiving an error when insert data into a .dbf file

Backgournd
I am currently working on a project which will need me to create a local .dbf file which I must then populate with a value. I am currently able to create a .dbf file in a test dir and adding a column to it, however when I later try to add a value to the column, it errors out.
Problem
I am currently not able to write to the column Public in the .dbf file which I created. When the code goes into ExecuteNonQuery();, it an error and is caught in my catch statement.
Working code
public static bool CreateDBF()
{
try
{
string dbfDirectory = #"c:\Users\me\Desktop\New911";
string connectionString = "Provider=VFPOLEDB;Data Source=" + dbfDirectory;
using (OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection(connectionString))
{
connection.Open();
OleDbCommand command = connection.CreateCommand();
command.CommandText = "create table CustomProperties(Public C(60))";
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
connection.Close();
InsertDataIntoDBF(dbfDirectory + "\\CustomProperties.DBF");
}
return true;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw;
}
}
Working Code - appendix:
The above block of code successfully create the .dbf file with the column which I want as the following image will show
Not working code:
public static bool InsertDataIntoDBF(string path)
{
try
{
string strLogConnectionString = "Provider=VFPOLEDB;Data Source=" + path + ";Collating Sequence=machine;Mode=ReadWrite;";
string query = #"INSERT INTO CustomProperties (Public)";
using (OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection(strLogConnectionString))
{
OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand(query, connection);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Public", "True");
connection.Open();
new OleDbCommand("set null off", connection).ExecuteNonQuery();
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
connection.Close();
}
return true;
}
catch (Exception ex)

This works for me. Try it

{
try
{
CreateDBF();
Console.WriteLine(ReadDB());
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);

using (OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection(connectionString))
{
connection.Open();
OleDbCommand command = connection.CreateCommand();
command.CommandText = "Create Table CustomProperties ([Public] char(50))";
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
connection.Close();
}
InsertDataIntoDBF(dbfDirectory + "\\CustomProperties.DBF");
return true;
}
public static bool InsertDataIntoDBF(string path)

string query = #"INSERT INTO CustomProperties ([Public]) VALUES (#Public)";
using (OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection(connectionString))
{
OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand(query, connection);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Public", "True");
connection.Open();
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
connection.Close();
}
return true;
}
public static string ReadDB()

string res = string.Empty;
string query = #"SELECT * FROM CustomProperties";
using (OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection(connectionString))

OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand(query, connection);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Public", "True");
connection.Open();
res = (string)command.ExecuteScalar();
connection.Close();
}
return res;
}

The error was purely syntax, and I was guided by a really good example which I found in the following link

thanks in advance

Initialize your DBconnection class inside FrmEditUser constructor, because insert() method is not a static method so you can not access it without instantiation
public FrmEditUser()
{
InitializeComponent();
DBconnection connect = new DBconnection();
connect.insert();
}

My question on successful void.I try try-cath method but this isn't work.(Id is Unique Key).Afaik i'm need select method but i can't.My table name is rank(id, trade).I'm need if created update trades +1.if not created,create a new user.I'm only need check created or not created.

If I understand your question correct you want to check if the row already exist in your table? If so you can in your catch statement check for primary key violation:
catch(MySqlException ex)
{
this.CloseConnection();
if(ex.Number == 1067)
{
//Handle exception
}
}
EDIT: After testing your code on my own machine I found out that there is nothing wrong with this.OpenConnection(). And my code ran successfully. Are you sure that the credentials given to the connectionString are valid?

"Table already exists" but it doesn't

I'm getting an This Table already exists error from Visual Studio 2012. I checked it in MySqlWorkbench and the Xampp Directory, but I didn't find anything. I've even tried it with DROP TABLE IF EXISTS tablename; but this doesn't work either.

Can anyone please where I am losing the connection as the connection remains open even after the object is out of scope every time the i use to do any operation a new connection is created and a previous connection is not closed. so I am running out of the connection limit to mysql ?

I suggest you to use using blok in order to clean your non managed object, your connection in this sample
using (var connection = new MySqlConnection("..."))
{
....
}
Nota : using blok execute dispose in the end of treatment in roder to clean
public void Insert(String query)
{
using(var connection = new MySqlConnection("..."))
{
connection.Open();
using(var cmd = new MySqlCommand(query, connection))
{
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
}
}
