public Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter Add (string parameterName, System.Data.SqlDbType sqlDbType);
override this.Add : string * System.Data.SqlDbType -> Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter
Public Function Add (parameterName As String, sqlDbType As SqlDbType) As SqlParameter

Parameters

Caution

Add(String parameterName, Object value) has been deprecated. Use AddWithValue(String parameterName, Object value). http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=14202

Adds the specified SqlParameter object to the SqlParameterCollection.

public:
 Microsoft::Data::SqlClient::SqlParameter ^ Add(System::String ^ parameterName, System::Object ^ value);
[System.Obsolete("Add(String parameterName, Object value) has been deprecated.  Use AddWithValue(String parameterName, Object value).  http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=14202", false)]
public Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter Add (string parameterName, object value);
[<System.Obsolete("Add(String parameterName, Object value) has been deprecated.  Use AddWithValue(String parameterName, Object value).  http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=14202", false)>]
override this.Add : string * obj -> Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter
Public Function Add (parameterName As String, value As Object) As SqlParameter

Parameters

parameterName
String

The name of the SqlParameter to add to the collection.

value
Object

A Object.

Returns

A new SqlParameter object.

Use caution when you are using this overload of the SqlParameterCollection.Add method to specify integer parameter values. Because this overload takes a value of type Object, you must convert the integral value to an Object type when the value is zero, as the following C# example demonstrates.

parameters.Add("@pname", Convert.ToInt32(0));  

If you do not perform this conversion, the compiler assumes that you are trying to call the SqlParameterCollection.Add (string, SqlDbType) overload.

Attributes

Exceptions

The SqlParameter specified in the value parameter is already added to this or another SqlParameterCollection.

The value parameter is null.

Examples

using Microsoft.Data.SqlClient;

public class Sample
{
    public void AddSqlParameter(SqlCommand command)
    {
        SqlParameter param = new SqlParameter(
            "@Description", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 16);
        param.Value = "Beverages";
        command.Parameters.Add(param);
    }
}

Applies to

Add(String, SqlDbType, Int32)

Adds a SqlParameter to the SqlParameterCollection, given the specified parameter name, SqlDbType and size.

public:
 Microsoft::Data::SqlClient::SqlParameter ^ Add(System::String ^ parameterName, System::Data::SqlDbType sqlDbType, int size);
public Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter Add (string parameterName, System.Data.SqlDbType sqlDbType, int size);
override this.Add : string * System.Data.SqlDbType * int -> Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter
Public Function Add (parameterName As String, sqlDbType As SqlDbType, size As Integer) As SqlParameter

Parameters

parameterName
String

The name of the parameter.

sqlDbType
SqlDbType

The SqlDbType of the SqlParameter to add to the collection.
