The following example demonstrates the implementation of the IList interface to create a simple, fixed-size list. This code is part of a larger example for the IList interface.

Add(String, SqlDbType)

Adds a SqlParameter to the SqlParameterCollection given the parameter name and the data type.

public:
 System::Data::SqlClient::SqlParameter ^ Add(System::String ^ parameterName, System::Data::SqlDbType sqlDbType);
public System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter Add (string parameterName, System.Data.SqlDbType sqlDbType);
override this.Add : string * System.Data.SqlDbType -> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter
member this.Add : string * System.Data.SqlDbType -> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter
Public Function Add (parameterName As String, sqlDbType As SqlDbType) As SqlParameter

Parameters

parameterName
String

The name of the parameter.

sqlDbType
SqlDbType

One of the SqlDbType values.

Returns

A new SqlParameter object.

Examples

public void AddSqlParameter(SqlCommand command)
{
    SqlParameter param = command.Parameters.Add(
        "@Description", SqlDbType.NVarChar);
    param.Size = 16;
    param.Value = "Beverages";
}
Public Sub AddSqlParameter(command As SqlCommand) 
  Dim param As SqlParameter = command.Parameters.Add( _
      "@Description", SqlDbType.NVarChar)
  param.Size = 16
  param.Value = "Beverages"
End Sub

Caution

Add(String parameterName, Object value) has been deprecated. Use AddWithValue(String parameterName, Object value). http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=14202

Adds the specified SqlParameter object to the SqlParameterCollection.

public:
 System::Data::SqlClient::SqlParameter ^ Add(System::String ^ parameterName, System::Object ^ value);
public System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter Add (string parameterName, object value);
[System.Obsolete("Add(String parameterName, Object value) has been deprecated.  Use AddWithValue(String parameterName, Object value).  http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=14202", false)]
public System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter Add (string parameterName, object value);
member this.Add : string * obj -> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter
[<System.Obsolete("Add(String parameterName, Object value) has been deprecated.  Use AddWithValue(String parameterName, Object value).  http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=14202", false)>]
override this.Add : string * obj -> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter
Public Function Add (parameterName As String, value As Object) As SqlParameter

Parameters

parameterName
String

The name of the SqlParameter to add to the collection.

value
Object

A Object.

Returns

A new SqlParameter object.

Use caution when you are using this overload of the SqlParameterCollection.Add method to specify integer parameter values. Because this overload takes a value of type Object, you must convert the integral value to an Object type when the value is zero, as the following C# example demonstrates.

parameters.Add("@pname", Convert.ToInt32(0));

If you do not perform this conversion, the compiler assumes that you are trying to call the SqlParameterCollection.Add (string, SqlDbType) overload.

Attributes

Exceptions

The SqlParameter specified in the value parameter is already added to this or another SqlParameterCollection.

The value parameter is null.

Examples

public void AddSqlParameter(SqlCommand command)
{
    SqlParameter param = new SqlParameter(
        "@Description", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 16);
    param.Value = "Beverages";
    command.Parameters.Add(param);
}
Public Sub AddSqlParameter(command As SqlCommand) 
  Dim param As New SqlParameter( _
      "@Description", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 16)
  param.Value = "Beverages"
  command.Parameters.Add(param)
End Sub

Add(String, SqlDbType, Int32)

Adds a SqlParameter to the SqlParameterCollection, given the specified parameter name, SqlDbType and size.

public:
 System::Data::SqlClient::SqlParameter ^ Add(System::String ^ parameterName, System::Data::SqlDbType sqlDbType, int size);
public System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter Add (string parameterName, System.Data.SqlDbType sqlDbType, int size);
override this.Add : string * System.Data.SqlDbType * int -> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter
member this.Add : string * System.Data.SqlDbType * int -> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter
Public Function Add (parameterName As String, sqlDbType As SqlDbType, size As Integer) As SqlParameter

Parameters

parameterName
String

The name of the parameter.

sqlDbType
SqlDbType

The SqlDbType of the SqlParameter to add to the collection.

size
Int32

The size as an Int32.

Returns

A new SqlParameter object.

Examples

public void AddSqlParameter(SqlCommand command)
{
    SqlParameter param = new SqlParameter(
        "@Description", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 16);
    param.Value = "Beverages";
    command.Parameters.Add(param);
}
Public Sub AddSqlParameter(command As SqlCommand) 
  Dim param As New SqlParameter( _
      "@Description", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 16)
  param.Value = "Beverages"
  command.Parameters.Add(param)
End Sub

Remarks

This overload is useful when you are adding a parameter of a variable-length data type such as varchar or binary.
