Pass parameters correctly to SqlCommand

Question

I have code to insert data to SQL table. The columns have such types:

@param1 datetime,
@param2 nvarchar(50),
@param3 int,
@param4 bit,
@param5 int,
@param6 bit,         


        

Answer 1

AddWithValue tries to assigns the value by unboxing an object in the c# type based on the database field's type.

try
{
    using (var oleDbConnection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
    {
        // Set the command object properties
        SqlCommand oleDbCommand = new SqlCommand()
        oleDbCommand.Connection = oleDbConnection;
        oleDbCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
        oleDbCommand.CommandText = "[dbo].[InsertRow]";
        // Add the input parameters to the parameter collection
        // m.param1 is of DateTime type, m.param2 of string type, m.param3 of int type, etc.
        oleDbCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@param1", m.param1);
        oleDbCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@param2", m.param2);
        oleDbCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@param3", m.param3);
        oleDbCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@param4", m.param4);
        oleDbCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@param5", m.param5);
        oleDbCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@param6", m.param6);
        oleDbCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@param7", m.param7);
        oleDbCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@param8", m.param8);
        oleDbCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@param9", m.param9);
        // Open the connection, execute the query and close the connection.
        oleDbCommand.Connection.Open();
        oleDbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
    }
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
    return false;
}

using statement adds itself the correct connection handling after its use.
