Problem with querying sql server from vb

Question

Whenever I have

Dim catID as integer

And I use this in a query like this:

cmd.CommandText = \"select * from categories where p         


        

Answer 1

Try

cmd.CommandText = string.Format("select * from categories where parentid='{0}'", catID)

if parentid is a numeric field in your database then you'll need

cmd.CommandText = string.Format("select * from categories where parentid={0}", catID)
