I am creating a web form written in aspx and c#. I'm having difficulty submitting the form to a MySQL database. I am experiencing the following error in my code behind on the line "SqlDataSource1.Insert();" :


The name 'SqlDataSource1' does not exist in the current context".

I would like the form data to submit to my SQL data source upon hitting the submit button. Below is the code behind page. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.
Code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.Common;
using System.Data.Sql;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Data.SqlTypes;

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        SqlDataSource1.Insert(); 

    }
    
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }

    public string GetConnectionString()
    {
        return System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyConsString"].ConnectionString;
    }

    private void ExecuteInsert(string name, string department, string website, string enhancement, string cost, string changes)
    {
        SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(GetConnectionString());
        string sql = "INSERT INTO WEB_EHANCEMENT_REQUEST (Name, Department, Website, Enhancement, Cost, Changes) VALUES "
                    + " (@Name,@Department,@Website,@Enhancement,@Cost,@Changes)";

        try
        {
            conn.Open();
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn);
            SqlParameter[] param = new SqlParameter[6];
            //param[0] = new SqlParameter("@id", SqlDbType.Int, 20);
            param[0] = new SqlParameter("@Name", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50);
            param[1] = new SqlParameter("@Department", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50);
            param[2] = new SqlParameter("@Website", SqlDbType.VarChar, 150);
            param[3] = new SqlParameter("@Enhancement", SqlDbType.VarChar, 500);
            param[4] = new SqlParameter("@Cost", SqlDbType.VarChar, 250);
            param[5] = new SqlParameter("@Changes", SqlDbType.VarChar, 400);

            param[0].Value = name;
            param[1].Value = department;
            param[2].Value = website;
            param[3].Value = enhancement;
            param[4].Value = cost;
            param[5].Value = changes;

            for (int i = 0; i < param.Length; i++)
            {
                cmd.Parameters.Add(param[i]);
            }

            cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
            cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        }
        catch (System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException ex)
        {
            string msg = "Insert Error:";
            msg += ex.Message;
            throw new Exception(msg);
        }
        finally
        {
            conn.Close();
        }
    }
    public static void ClearControls(Control Parent)
    {

        if (Parent is TextBox)
        { (Parent as TextBox).Text = string.Empty; }
        else
        {
            foreach (Control c in Parent.Controls)
                ClearControls(c);
        }
    }
    
}
