SqlParameterCollection Class

Definition

Represents a collection of parameters associated with a SqlCommand and their respective mappings to columns in a DataSet. This class cannot be inherited.

Examples

The following example creates multiple instances of SqlParameter through the SqlParameterCollection collection. The parameters are used to select data within the data source and populate the DataSet. This code assumes that a DataSet and a SqlDataAdapter have already been created with the appropriate schema, commands, and connection.

public void AddSqlParameters()
{
// ...
// create categoriesDataSet and categoriesAdapter
// ...

  categoriesAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add(
    "@CategoryName", SqlDbType.VarChar, 80).Value = "toasters";
  categoriesAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add(
    "@SerialNum", SqlDbType.Int).Value = 239;
  categoriesAdapter.Fill(categoriesDataSet);
}
Public Sub AddSqlParameters()
    ' ...
    ' create categoriesDataSet and categoriesAdapter
    ' ...
    categoriesAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add( _
        "@CategoryName", SqlDbType.VarChar, 80).Value = "toasters"
    categoriesAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add( _
        "@SerialNum", SqlDbType.Int).Value = 239
    
    categoriesAdapter.Fill(categoriesDataSet)
End Sub

Remarks

If the command contains an ad hoc SQL statement, as opposed to a stored-procedure name, the number of the parameters in the collection must be equal to the number of parameter placeholders within the command text, or SQL Server raises an error. With a stored procedure, all the parameters declared in the stored procedure without a default value must be provided. Parameters declared with a default value are optional. This lets you specify a value other than the default.

For more information with additional sample code demonstrating how to use parameters, see Commands and Parameters.
