Examples

The following example calls a Stored Procedure with three parameters using the ODBC managed provider.

C#
public void CreateMyProc(OdbcConnection connection)
{
    OdbcCommand command = connection.CreateCommand();
    command.CommandText = "{ call MyProc(?,?,?) }";

    OdbcParameter param = new OdbcParameter();
    param.DbType = DbType.Int32;
    param.Value = 1;
    command.Parameters.Add(param);

    param = new OdbcParameter();
    param.DbType = DbType.Decimal;
    param.Value = 1;
    command.Parameters.Add(param);

    param = new OdbcParameter();
    param.DbType = DbType.Decimal;
    param.Value = 1;
    command.Parameters.Add(param);

    command.ExecuteNonQuery();
 }

Remarks

The OdbcType and DbType are linked. Therefore, setting the DbType changes the OdbcType to a supporting OdbcType.

For a list of the supported data types, see the appropriate OdbcType member. For more information, see DataAdapter Parameters.

Note

Object is not supported by the Microsoft .NET Framework Data Provider for ODBC.
