SQL Parameters hi there, i have download your StarterKit and looks good. Now i have create a Stored Procedure with Parameters and the only thing i get are Errors. I have try a lot of diferent ways to include the parameters, but allways i get the Message an Parameter is Missing. Can anybody tell me please what i need do for include the parameters. Here is my Example: Public Function GetCatalogoSubMenus(ByRef Padre As Integer, ByRef Nivel As Integer, ByRef Activar As Boolean) As List(Of CatalogoSubMenus) Activar = True Padre = 28 Nivel = 3 Dim objCommand As New SqlCommand Dim objSqlHelper As New SqlHelper() 'objCommand.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter("@Padre", SqlDbType.Int)); Dim reader As SqlDataReader = objSqlHelper.ExecuteReader("mts_GETArticulosGruposSubMenus") objCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Padre", SqlDbType.Int).Value = Padre objCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Nivel", SqlDbType.Int).Value = Nivel objCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Activar", SqlDbType.Int).Value = Activar Dim objList As New List(Of CatalogoSubMenus) While reader.Read Dim pc As New CatalogoSubMenus pc.IDGrupo = reader.GetInt32(reader.GetOrdinal("IDGrupo")) pc.Posicion = reader.GetInt32(reader.GetOrdinal("Posicion")) pc.Nivel = reader.GetInt32(reader.GetOrdinal("Nivel")) pc.Padre = reader.GetInt32(reader.GetOrdinal("Padre")) pc.TituloGrupo = reader.GetString(reader.GetOrdinal("TituloGrupo")) objList.Add(pc) End While reader.Close() Return objList End Function Posted By : James Posted On : 4/14/2008

Re: SQL Parameters Where are u using objCommand ExecuteXXXX() method? You are adding params to this command but nowhere calling any of its methods. You are using objSqlHelper instead. I think you should set CommandText property of objCommand to your st proc name, add params to objCommand and then call ExecuteReader() method on it. Posted By : Aditya Posted On : 4/14/2008
