Question

I am currently trying to complete a transaction for a web based app, however;

Failed To Convert Parameter Value From A String To A Int32

Here is copy of the function.

public static void completeTransaction(string storeCode, string employeeId, DateTime Date, string itemListNoId)
{
    using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("Data Source = ; Initial Catalog =Business ; Integrated Security = true;"))
    {
        using (SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("dbo.completeTransaction", conn))
        {
            command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
            command.Parameters.Add("@storeCode", SqlDbType.Int).Value = storeCode;
            command.Parameters.Add("@employeeId", SqlDbType.Int).Value = employeeId;
            command.Parameters.Add("@Date", SqlDbType.DateTime).Value = Date;
            command.Parameters.Add("@itemListNoId", SqlDbType.Int).Value = itemListNoId;
            conn.Open();

            command.ExecuteNonQuery();
            conn.Close();
        }
    }
}

My SQL Server table contains the following tables and types

storeCode INT
employee INT
Date DATETIME
itemListNoId INT

Any help would be appreciated.

I belive the problem is in your first paramter (storeCode). You’re trying to send a string as an int paramter.

That line should read like this:

command.Parameters.Add("@storeCode", SqlDbType.Int).Value = Convert.ToInt32(storeCode);

There’s one more suspicious thing: the parameter’s name is storeCode, which implies a varchar column. What’s the value you’re trying to pass as a storeCode? Are you sure it’s an int?
