Property Value

String

The name of the source column mapped to the DataSet. The default is an empty string.

SourceColumn

Examples

The following example creates a SqlParameter and sets some of its properties.

// using Microsoft.Data.SqlClient;
static void CreateSqlParameterSourceColumn()
{
    SqlParameter parameter = new SqlParameter("Description", SqlDbType.VarChar, 88);
    parameter.SourceColumn = "Description";
}

Remarks

When SourceColumn is set to anything other than an empty string, the value of the parameter is retrieved from the column with the SourceColumn name. If Direction is set to Input, the value is taken from the DataSet. If Direction is set to Output, the value is taken from the data source. A Direction of InputOutput is a combination of both.
