[HELP]C# MySQL Command insert if not exsist?

[Basser]

MySqlCommand Command = new MySqlCommand("INSERT INTO accounts(AccountID,LogonType) VALUES ('" + fillBox.Text + "','3')", Connection);

Now, I want it to check if the value of fillBox.Text doesn't excist before making the account, so It wont create the same account. I tried making it in a try, that didn't help, it just make several accounts with the same name.

Umm.. I dont know if this will help, check out the register page?

I did this before but i dont remember how... I made a fully working accoun register form, i dont have it anymore though sorry.

I did, but the $check2 part is hard to translate to C#..

Here's a crappy way of doing it:

MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand("SELECT * FROM `accounts` WHERE `AccountID` = "'" + fillBox.Text + "'", Connection);
MySqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
bool exist = false;
if (rdr.Read())
exist = true;

if (!exist)
{
Your code goes here.
}

Thanks a lot, testing this now.

Edit:

Didn't work.

        private bool Check(string acc)
        {
            bool exists = false;
            MySqlCommand Command = new MySqlCommand("SELECT * FROM `accounts` WHERE `AccountID` = \"" + acc + "\"", Connection);
            MySqlDataReader DR = Command.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
            while (DR.Read())
            {
                if (Convert.ToString(DR["AccountID"]) == acc)
                    exists = true;
            }
            DR.Close();
            Command.Dispose();
            return exists;
        }
        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string acc = fillBox.Text;
            if (acc != "")
                if (!Check(acc))
                {
                    MySqlCommand Command = new MySqlCommand("INSERT INTO accounts(AccountID,LogonType) VALUES ('" + acc + "','3')", Connection);
                    Command.ExecuteNonQuery();
                    Command.Connection.Close();
                    Command.Connection.Dispose();
                    Command.Dispose();
                    MessageBox.Show("AccountID created");
                }
                else
                {
                    MessageBox.Show("AccountID already taken");
                }
        }

I hope it helps.
