Question

I have an SQL procedure with these parameters

@WorkflowApprovalHistoryId      int                 OUTPUT,
    @ProjectUid                     uniqueidentifier,
    @ProjectId                      nvarchar(50),
    @StageUid                       uniqueidentifier,
    @Username                       nvarchar(50),
    @WasRejected                    bit,
    @Cost                           money,
    @Work                           money,
    @StartDate                      datetime,
    @FinishDate                     datetime,
    @InsertDate                     datetime            OUTPUT

I have checked this Failed To Convert Parameter Value From A String To A Int32 , but it does not helped me because i dont have any input parameter as int.

I am Pasting my code here

private void LogApproval(Guid prjUId, bool wasRejected) {
            string projectId = string.Empty;
            Nullable<Guid> stageUid = null;
            Nullable<decimal> cost = null;
            Nullable<decimal> work = null;
            Nullable<DateTime> startDate = null;
            Nullable<DateTime> finishDate = null;
            string stageGuid = string.Empty;

            SqlParameter param3=new SqlParameter();
            param3=cmnd.Parameters.Add("@ProjectId",SqlDbType.NVarChar);

            SqlParameter param6=new SqlParameter();
            param6=cmnd.Parameters.Add("@WasRejected",SqlDbType.Bit);//form status provide as input
            param6.Direction=ParameterDirection.Input;
            if (wasRejected == true)
                param6.Value = 1;
            else
                param6.Value = 0;
            SqlParameter param7=new SqlParameter();
            param7=cmnd.Parameters.Add("@Cost",SqlDbType.Money); //PSI

            param10.Value=finishDate;


            SqlParameter param11=new SqlParameter();
            param11=cmnd.Parameters.Add("@InsertDate",SqlDbType.DateTime);
            param11.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue;

            cmnd.ExecuteNonQuery();
            var HistoryID = param1.Value;
            var InsertDate = param11.Value;
}

on executing Execute NonQuery it throws Failed to convert parameter value from a String to a Int32

Answer 1

The output parameters should be not ParameterDirection.Output, not ParameterDirection.ReturnValue.

ParameterDirection.ReturnValue is for the integer result value of a stored procedure produced by a SQL return statement

Incidentally, Parameters.AddWithValue is recommended over Parameters.Add for input values
