Check Checkboxlist Into Database Table

I've seen this done a few times in C# but I'm afraid my knowledg doesn't extend into converting this to vb.net. I'm simply looking to examine a checkboxlist and then send the checked values to a database table. It's the actual inserting into the database that i'm not sure what to do with.

Here is some code...

VBNET Code:

Protected Sub InsertButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim ckbox As ListItem
Dim ckboxlist As CheckBoxList
Dim profile_id_int As TextBox
ckboxlist = CType(Me.FormView1.FindControl("Checkboxlist1"), CheckBoxList)
profile_id_int = CType(Me.FormView1.FindControl("staff_payroll_int"), TextBox)
For Each ckbox In ckboxlist.Items
If ckbox.Selected = True Then
'insert record in profile_skill_link table
Try
'Create a New Connection for the Stored Procedure
Dim myConnection As New Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(Me.SqlDataSource3.ConnectionString)
Dim mysql As String
myConnection.Open()
mysql = "Insert into staff_profile_string_link(staff_profile_int, skill_id_int) values('" + ckboxlist.SelectedItem.Text + "','" + id_int.Text + "';)"
'MsgBox(mysql)
'insert into database here
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Redirect("~/GenericErrorPage.aspx", False)
End Try
End If
Next
End Sub
