SQL Parameterized Queries with IN statement

[Fred]

Hi,

When trying the following code :

[...]
oCmd = "SELECT MyField FROM MyTable WHERE MyID IN (@IDList)"
MyCommand = New SqlCommand(oCmd, oConn)
MyCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@IDList",
SqlDbType.NVarChar))
MyCommand.Parameters("@IDList").Value = "5611,1332"
[...]

I've got the following error :
Syntax error converting the nvarchar value '5611,1332' to a column of
data type int

MyID type is SqlDbType.Int
@IDList is a comma separated int values list (=> String). Is this type
correct or should I use another one ? Is there a particular syntax to
assign a parameter in that kind of query ?

Thanks
Fred

To SQL Server, the variable is one value. Not a list of values.

Good Luck!
