hashtable to pass to proc

I took over an web app (C#) were the developer put everything in a has table
then called a method to execute a stored procedure, now I'm running into some
issues were if I do an update and a NULL is passed that the field in the db
is left empty and NULL is not entered in. So how can I pass a NULL value in a
hashtable, execute the stored procedure and have NULL entered in the table
instead of a blank field?

here is an example of the code:
the call to the stored procedure and passing parameters:

private voide UpdateCars(string Make, string Model, string Notes)
{
string sql = "spUpdateCars";
System.Collections.HashTable params = new System.Collections.HashTables();
params.add("@make", Make);
params.add("@model", Model);
params.add("@notes", Notes);

this.executeStoredProcedureNonQuery(strSQL, params)

}

now the executeStoredProcedureNonQuery method:
protected int executeStoredPorcedureNonQuery(string sqlCommand ,
System.Collections.Hashtable parameters)
{
int result = 0 ;

SqlConnection conn = getConnection() ;
try
{
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sqlCommand, conn) ;
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure ;
foreach (DictionaryEntry parameterEntry in parameters)
{
cmd.Parameters.Add((string)parameterEntry.Key, parameterEntry.Value) ;

}

cmd.Connection.Open() ;
result = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() ;
cmd.Connection.Close() ;
}
catch(SqlException e)
{
Console.Write(e.StackTrace) ;
}
finally
{
if (conn != null)
conn.Close() ;
}

return result ;
}

so how can i get it to enter NULL in the field and not leave it blank?

Maybe you could set the HT value to DbNull, or just have a conditional
statement when you build the SqlCommand where if the value is null, then
insert DbNull. Either way you are using DbNull.

I've tried that and still passing in blank and not NULL to the table.
I did something like;
if(parameterEntry.value == "")
{
parameterEntry.value = System.DBNull.value;
}

and it would not pass NULL to the table, i even checked on the web form
itself,
if (make.text == "")
{
make.text = System.DBNull.value;
}

and still nothing,

Have you checked to see if it is a problem with the stored procedure? Maybe
the SP has the code to convert nulls into empty strings. Maybe that field
cannot handle nulls.

The field in the table allows NULLS.

The procs looks like this
create procedure spUpdateCars
{
@salesID int,
@make char(25) = NULL,
@model char(20) = NULL,
@notes varchar(250) = NULL
},
update Cars
set
CarMake = @make,
CarModel = @model,
SaleNotes = @notes
where sales ID = @salesID
is this how it should look to allow NULLS and insert NULL in the table or no?
