I have the following line of code:
sqlcommand.Parameters.Add("@LinkID", SqlDbType.Int, 4).Value = linkID;
But, I'm slightly confused about the use of size
. Is this saying that its 4 bytes in size? Or a length of 4 so 1234
is acceptable but 12345
is too big?
AddWithValue replaces the SqlParameterCollection. Add method that takes a String and an Object. The overload of Add that takes a string and an object was deprecated because of possible ambiguity with the SqlParameterCollection.
Command objects use parameters to pass values to SQL statements or stored procedures, providing type checking and validation. Unlike command text, parameter input is treated as a literal value, not as executable code.
A variable-length stream of non-Unicode characters ranging between 1 and 8,000 characters. Use VarChar when the database column is varchar(max) . Variant.
SqlDbType: It is used to set the SQL Server Datatypes for a given parameter. ParameterName: It is used to specify a parameter name. Direction: It is used for setting the direction of a SqlParameter. It is Input or Output or both (InputOutput).
For the types with fixes size you should omit this argument, simply:
sqlcommand.Parameters.Add("@LinkID", SqlDbType.Int).Value = linkID;
The size argument is only relevant for parameters with a type that can have variable size like varchar
, nvarchar
etc.
