insert into a database with a sqldatasource. asp.net mvc4

My problem is that when I click the button nothing happens to the sql server. When I look in the profiler I can see that my code reads from the database but nothing else. I have borrowed code from the internet, just so you know I'm a newbie on this Here is the code:

    <script runat="server">
        private void InsertShipper_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 
        {
            SqlDataSource1.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text;
            SqlDataSource1.InsertCommand = "Insert into Shippers (CoName,phone) VALUES (@Name, @Phone)";

            SqlDataSource1.InsertParameters.Add("Name", CompanyNameBox.Text);
            SqlDataSource1.InsertParameters.Add("Phone", PhoneBox.Text);
            SqlDataSource1.Insert();

            CompanyNameBox.Text = "";
            PhoneBox.Text = "";      
        }

        protected void btnInsert_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            SqlDataSource1.InsertCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text;
            SqlDataSource1.InsertCommand = "Insert into Shippers (CoName,phone) VALUES (@Name, @Phone)";

            SqlDataSource1.InsertParameters.Add("Name", CompanyNameBox.Text);
            SqlDataSource1.InsertParameters.Add("Phone", PhoneBox.Text);
            SqlDataSource1.Insert();

            CompanyNameBox.Text = "";
            PhoneBox.Text = "";
        }
    </script>
