I'm writing a database client program in C#, and it accesses a MS SQL V7
database. In one part of my program I am using a SqlCommand class to run a
SQL Statement, the command text uses parameters, but these do not seem to be
functioning (as it does not find the record), it's probably some really
stupid error I've made, but I've spend several hours trying to find it and
its now driving me crazy. Also something very similar else where in the
program works fine.
The table I'm using is called Suppliers and it has a field called
AccountCode and on of the records has the data value of Rice in the
AccountCode field.
If I write the statement so that it is as follows, the code finds the
record:
sqlCommand.Comm andText = "SELECT * FROM " + "[" + this.tableName + "]" +
" WHERE AccountCode = 'Rice';";
But when using parameters it doesn't work, here is the code with parameters:
SqlCommand sqlCommand = new SqlCommand("", dbConnection);
SqlDataReader dReader;
sqlCommand.Comm andType = CommandType.Tex t;
SqlParameter param1 = new SqlParameter("@ searchField", "AccountCod e");
sqlCommand.Para meters.Add(para m1);
SqlParameter param2 = new SqlParameter("@ searchString", "Rice");
sqlCommand.Para meters.Add(para m2);
sqlCommand.Comm andText = "SELECT * FROM " + "[" + this.tableName + "]" +
" WHERE @searchField = '@searchString' ;";
// Also tried the @searchString with out the ' ' each side of it
//" WHERE AccountCode = 'Rice' ; "; // It works if modifed to
this
dReader = sqlCommand.Exec uteReader();
if(dReader.HasR ows == true)
{
.....
}
Anyone have any ideas why the parameter version doesn't work?
No exceptions are thrown, the data reader just doesn't return any data.
Thank You for any help,

Parameters are used with stored procedures.
I do not understand why are you trying to use paramaters with
CommandType.Tex t.

My guess is that you can use parameters only for literal values and not for
field names. You can't treat your query as a sort of macro expression where
parameter values substitute their placeholders no matter what they mean.
Rather parameters are used in run-time to pass values to the Select
statements or stored procedures.
HTH,

PHP seems working fine, i.e. <?php echo '<p>Hello World</p>'; ?>

Hi all
I'm converting a db from Acc97 to 2000. Everything works, except assigning
of a qdf object containing parameters, to a recordset.
The db, recordset, and qrydef objects are all referenced as DAO objects, and
the reference to dao 3.6 is present and working.
The code breaks at the last statement (below) with an 'invalid arguament'
error 3001.
Note that the parameters are both dates.

Hi
I’m having problems with the following method…
It works for the ‘@user’ bit (i.e. it takes in the user variable and works within the sql command).
But the @column variable still is not working somehow.
It’s probably something to do with the way I’ve phrased the actual sql statement.
