Question

I want to use a datagrid item as a variable in an insert statement. I can’t figure out how to convert the string value to varchar.

Here is what I am trying to do.

 { 
     string ord = grdDisplayOrd.Rows[1].Cells[2].Text;
     cmd.Parameters.Add("@ord", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = ord; 
 }

What am I missing here?

Answer 1

you didn’t supply any error message, but maybe it because you didn’t specified the SqlParameter length.
Anyway, try using

cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ord", ord);

it will auto recognized your type.
