Question

I am using Parameters.AddWithValue to my SqlCommand variable.

I am able to dump the output to a textbox by saying

tb.Text = command.CommandText.ToString();

But it’s not dumping the value for my parameter into the textbox.

Any suggestions on how to verify the parameters are “ok”?

I am using WinForm for Windows 8 using VS2012

Answer 1

SQL parameters are sent to the server alongside the text of the command; they are not integrated with the CommandText.

You can examine the parameters by looking at the Value property in the Parameters collection.
