Question

I would like to call a sql statement such as:

Select * From Table Where Column in (\'value1\', \'value2\', \'value3\')

Is it as simple as s

Answer 1

Another option is to set the SqlCommand's commandtype to "text" and construct the entire Sql string in code... Assuming Column is a varchar, and you have the Values in a string arrray, named "paramValues"

       StringBuilder sbSql = new StringBuilder
                   ("Select * From Table Where Column in (");
       string[] paramValues = new string[] {"value1", "value2", "value3"};
       foreach (string val in paramValues)
          sbSql.Append("'" + val + "', ");
       sbSql = sbSql.Remove(sbSql.Length - 2, 2);
       sbSql.Append(")");

       SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sbSql.ToString());
       cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
