Syntax

'Declaration

    parameterName As String, _
    value As Object _
) As SqlCeParameter
public SqlCeParameter Add (

    String parameterName, 
    Object value
)
public function Add (
    parameterName : String, 
    value : Object
) : SqlCeParameter

Parameters

  • parameterName
    The name of the parameter.

Return Value

A reference to the new SqlCeParameter object.

Exceptions

Exception type Condition
InvalidCastException

The object supplied as the value parameter cannot be converted to a string. This can happen if the object is not a primitive type, SqlDbType or byte array.

Remarks

The SqlDbType of the new SqlCeParameter object is not inferred from the type of the value parameter. The Value property of the new SqlCeParameter object is set to the string obtained from converting value parameter and the SqlDbType is set to SqlDbType.NChar.

If you want to explicitly set the SqlDbType of the parameter when it is created, you should use one of the other overloaded Add methods.

Example

The following example adds new element to a SqlCeParameterCollection. It assumes that a SqlCeCommand has already been created.

cmd.Parameters.Add("@Description", "Beverages")
cmd.Parameters.Add("@Description", "Beverages");
