The number of the parameters in the collection must be equal to the number of parameter placeholders within the command text, or an exception will be generated.

Examples

The following example creates multiple instances of MySqlParameter through the MySqlParameterCollection collection within the MySqlDataAdapter. These parameters are used to select data within the data source and place the data in the DataSet. This code assumes that a DataSet and a MySqlDataAdapter have already been created with the appropriate schema, commands, and connection.

Visual Basic example:

Public Sub AddParameters()
    ' ...
    ' create myDataSet and myDataAdapter
    ' ...
    myDataAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@CategoryName", MySqlDbType.VarChar, 80).Value = "toasters"
    myDataAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@SerialNum", MySqlDbType.Long).Value = 239
    
    myDataAdapter.Fill(myDataSet)
End Sub 'AddSqlParameters 
  

C# example:

public void AddSqlParameters() 
{
// ...
// create myDataSet and myDataAdapter
// ...
  myDataAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@CategoryName", MySqlDbType.VarChar, 80).Value = "toasters";
  myDataAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@SerialNum", MySqlDbType.Long).Value = 239;
  myDataAdapter.Fill(myDataSet);
}
