Setting a loop for database entries into azure

[Mark]

When i click the submit button and fire this code it inserts it into the databse correctly but seems to duplication depending on how many entries already exist. Is there a way i can set a loop or if statement to limit to one entry, i tried to do via the datetime but because the multiple entries go in a second apart it wont work. Any help appreciated.  Still a beginner in Xamarin. 

Some of my code included in my submit button click is :

 async Task AddInitialFeedback(string usersymptomid)
        {
           
            SymptomFeedback symptomFeedback = new SymptomFeedback();
            symptomFeedback.Usersymptomid = usersymptomid;
            symptomFeedback.Intensity = RatingSlider.Value.ToString();
            symptomFeedback.UserID = Helpers.Settings.UserKey;
            symptomFeedback.DateTime = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
            symptomFeedback.Datetimelimit = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(30).ToString("g");
            //  symptomFeedback.Symptomfeedback = Symptomfeedback.Text.ToString();
            

            try
            {

                await symptomfeedbackmanager.AddSymptomfeedback(symptomFeedback);

                //We have to null the id so that we are not always updating the existing feedback item
                symptomFeedback.Id = null;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Analytics.TrackEvent(ex.ToString());
            }
        }

Hi Mark,

Thank you for providing the code, however, I'm not sure where the relationship is with any Telerik control. I'm going to take a guess and say that you used one of the screens templates?

This forum is for the Telerik controls and those controls features, general Xamarin programming questions posted on StackOverflow or the Xamarin Forums for better visibility for XAML and Xamarin programming advise.

I can give you a couple of ideas to get started:

- you can just disable the button when the user clicks the button. That way, they cannot click it again after submitting the feedback.

myButton.IsEnabled = false;

- Use a boolean flag to prevent resubmitting the feedback

if(preventSubmission)
    return;

await symptomfeedbackmanager.AddSymptomfeedback(symptomFeedback);

Good luck!
