Hope this will help you out to full-fill your requirement.Here I am giving only aspx and c# coding. Create and modify your database and change the code accordingly.Here I am using direct insert statement you can use stored procedure.
Table in Database:-
page.aspx :-
<asp:GridView ID="excelgrd" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" ShowFooter="true">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Slno" HeaderText="SL No" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Name">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txnm" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Description">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txdesc" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterStyle HorizontalAlign="Right" />
<FooterTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="ButtonAdd" runat="server" Text="Add New Row" OnClick="ButtonAdd_Click" />
</FooterTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<asp:Button ID="svbtn" runat="server" Text="Save" OnClick="svbtn_Click" />`
code behind of your page :-
`
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DBCS"].ToString());
