Button Click event with if statement.

Question

Is there a way to run a method in a button click event.  Say an update method, that if the method updates successfully it returns a value of true and if not then false?

 

Basically I have a class that houses my connection string, db insert, update, and delete methods, what I need to do is on my form that initiates the update method I need it to update a statusbar text field with a timer. 

 

here is the code from my form with the button.

      private void btnUpdate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Employee upEmp = new Employee();
            upEmp.FullName1 = tbxFullName.Text;
            upEmp.ShortName1 = tbxShortName.Text;
            upEmp.Title1 = cbxTitle.Text;
            upEmp.OfficePhone1 = cbxOfficePhone.Text;
            upEmp.HomePhone1 = mtbHomePhone.Text;
            upEmp.MobilePhone1 = mtbMobilePhone.Text;
            upEmp.DateOfBirth1 = Convert.ToDateTime(mtbxDoB.Text);
            upEmp.Active1 = cbxActive.Text;
            upEmp.Type1 = cbxType.Text;
            upEmp.EmergPhone1 = mtbContactPhone.Text;
            upEmp.EmergContact1 = tbxEmergContact.Text;
            int index = empMainListView.SelectedItems[0].Index;
            List<Employee> empUpdate = dbconnect.Load();
            upEmp.ID1 = empUpdate[index].ID1;
            dbconnect.Update(upEmp);
        }

 here is the code my my class file that houses my connection string and update method

 

 

public void Update(Employee upEmp)
        {
            try
            {
                dbcommand.CommandText = "UPDATE tblEmployee SET FullName=@vFullName, ShortName=@vShortName, Title=@vTitle, OfficePhone=@vOffice, HomePhone=@vHome, MobilePHone=@vMobile, DateOfBirth=@vDob, Type=@vType, Active=@vActive, EmergPhone=@vEPhone, EmergContact=@vEContact WHERE ID=@vID";
                dbcommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@vFullName", upEmp.FullName1);
                dbcommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@vShortName", upEmp.ShortName1);
                dbcommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@vTitle", upEmp.Title1);
                dbcommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@vOffice", upEmp.OfficePhone1);
                dbcommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@vHome", upEmp.HomePhone1);
                dbcommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@vMobile", upEmp.MobilePhone1);
                dbcommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@vDob", upEmp.DateOfBirth1);
                dbcommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@vType", upEmp.Type1);
                dbcommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@vActive", upEmp.Active1);
                dbcommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@vEPhone", upEmp.EmergPhone1);
                dbcommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@vEContact", upEmp.EmergContact1);
                dbcommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@vID", upEmp.ID1);
                dbcommand.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.Text;
                dbconnect.Open();
                dbcommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
            }
            finally
            {
                dbconnect.Close();
            }
        }
