Examples
The following example creates a SqlParameter and sets some of its properties.
private static void AddSqlParameter(SqlCommand command,
string paramValue)
{
SqlParameter parameter = new SqlParameter(
"@Description", SqlDbType.VarChar);
parameter.Value = paramValue;
parameter.IsNullable = true;
command.Parameters.Add(parameter);
}
private static void SetParameterToNull(IDataParameter parameter)
{
if (parameter.IsNullable)
{
parameter.Value = DBNull.Value;
}
else
{
throw new ArgumentException("Parameter provided is not nullable", "parameter");
}
}
Private Sub AddSqlParameter(ByVal command As SqlCommand, _
ByVal paramValue As String)
Dim parameter As New SqlParameter( _
"@Description", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 16)
parameter.Value = paramValue
parameter.IsNullable = True
command.Parameters.Add(parameter)
End Sub
Private Shared Sub SetParameterToNull(parameter As IDataParameter)
If parameter.IsNullable Then
parameter.Value = DBNull.Value
Else
Throw New ArgumentException("Parameter provided is not nullable", "parameter")
End If
End Sub
Remarks
The SqlDbType and DbType are linked. Therefore, setting the DbType changes the SqlDbType to a supporting SqlDbType.
For a list of the supported data types, see the appropriate SqlDbType member. For more information, see DataAdapter Parameters.
