  • 0

Please help me out with this. I have this small application to load txt files into a sql db and it works fine with sqlite. When I ported to SQL I started getting ‘parameter already declared’ errors.. If anyone can help me reorganize this code, it would be great! I need to get the parameter definitions outside of the loops or something..

                                }

                                insertCommand.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@PartNumber", RNumberE));
                                insertCommand.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@CMMNumber", RNumberD));
                                insertCommand.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@Date", cmmDate));
                                insertCommand.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@FileName", FileNameExt));
                                // 

                                insertCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();

                            }

                        }
                        Console.WriteLine("CMM data successfully imported to SQL database...");

                    }
                    con.Close();

            }
        } 
    } 
}

FYI – the PartNumber, CMMNumber, Date, etc at the bottom are pulled from the file name and I need it in the table next to each respective record.

    For your Command objects, you need to do a

    insertCommand.Parameters.Clear();
    

    before you do any

    insertCommand.Parameters.Add();
    

    calls. The parameters are keyed when you add them to the collection, so when you reuse the same command object and add a new set of parameters the keys are colliding. Or you could just create a new Command object for each call, whichever suits you best.
