Question

SELECT personID, name, phoneNumber, age 
FROM dbo.person
WHERE name = .... 

I have created a database in visual studio and presented it in a gridview. I am currently creating a method where the user can search for a person’s name and have the matching rows displayed in gridview.

Visual Studio throws an error when I try to enter the field userinputTextBox.Text in the (….) space above.

Has anyone done this before and know a way around it?

You need to include parameterName with SELECT statement.

SELECT personID, name, phoneNumber, age 
FROM dbo.person
WHERE name=@name
