foreach (JProperty currency in currencyJson)
{
tCommand.Parameters.Clear();

tCommand.CommandText =
"INSERT INTO Currencies (ISO_CODE, VALUE ) VALUES(@isoCode, @value) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE ISO_CODE = @isoCode";
Console.WriteLine(currency.Name);
tCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@isoCode", (string)currency.Name);
tCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@value", (double)currency.Value);
tCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
}

So code above has error that i put on post thread. I cant find any solution to it. When i remove ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE ISO_CODE = @isoCode, code works just fine. Meanted code needs to be on my button refresh currency data, thats why i need this ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE, but for some reason it puts error on post thread. Sorry for my English.

The error is because the syntax of the SQL statement is incorrect. The ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE clause is specific to MySQL, not SQL Server. To perform an upsert in SQL Server, you need to use a combination of IF EXISTS and UPDATE statements.

Here's an example of the corrected code:

Code:
foreach (JProperty currency in currencyJson)
{
  tCommand.Parameters.Clear();

  tCommand.CommandText =
    @"IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM Currencies WHERE ISO_CODE = @isoCode)
    BEGIN
        UPDATE Currencies SET VALUE = @value WHERE ISO_CODE = @isoCode
    END
    ELSE
    BEGIN
        INSERT INTO Currencies (ISO_CODE, VALUE) VALUES (@isoCode, @value)
    END";

  Console.WriteLine(currency.Name);
  tCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@isoCode", (string)currency.Name);
  tCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@value", (double)currency.Value);
  tCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
