How to insert a new record...

Hello Members-

Can i able to insert a new record into a custom object using triggers and classes?(There are two custom objects Admission__c, Student__c. Defined a trigger on Admission__c. when this trigger is fired on Admission__c object i want to insert a new record into Student__c). Is it possible or not?

If possible, please guide me the way to write the code.

Thanks,
-Nath

Yes, you can do this.


Code:
trigger admin on Admission__c (before insert, before update) 
{
    for(Admission__c a:Trigger.new)
    {
        Student__c s = new Student__c(Name = 'TEST');
        insert s;
    }
}

This is the just a sample, you can modify this and you can insert the record into the student object.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks Srini for ur quick reply.

I tried the above code. When i inserted a new record or updated a record in Admission__c object then no new record is inserted into the Student__c object. When i clicked student__c object tab i can't see a new record with 'TEST' Name


Apart from this i tried with another(My approach) code.Below are the trigger and class codes:

trigger admin_trig1 on Admission__c (before insert, before update)
 {
    Admission__c[] a1=trigger.new;
    admin_prac1.m1(a1);
 
}

public class admin_prac1 {
    public static void m1(Admission__c[] a1)
    {
        Student__c std=new Student__c(Name='TEST');
        //Student__c.createable=true;
        try
        {
              insert std;
          }
          catch(DMLException e)
          {
               system.assert(false,'Error creating Calc:'+e.getDMLMessage(0));
          }
       
    }

}

No errors but When i inserted a new record or updated a record in Admission__c object then no new record is inserted into the Student__c object. When i clicked student__c object tab i can't see a new record with 'TEST' Name

Hi Nath,

Just check the debug log whether it is calling the class or not.
Try to place some debug statements and then observe them through the logs.
