I have stored proc as below:
ALTER PROC pr_Update_Users_Nomination
(
@UserID AS VARCHAR(100),
@Nominated AS BIT
)
AS
UPDATE User
SET isNominated = @Nominated
WHERE
EMPID = @UserID;
I want to call this procedure from c# code: Below is the code I am trying:
void OpenConnection()
{
string Nominated = "False";
//Connection String
string sConnString = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConString1"].ConnectionString;
SqlConnection mySqlCon = new SqlConnection(sConnString);
SqlCommand mySqlCom = mySqlCon.CreateCommand();
//Call the stored proc and provide in parameters
mySqlCom.CommandText = "EXECUTE pr_Update @UserID @Nominated";
mySqlCom.Parameters.Add("@UserID", SqlDbType.VarChar, 20).Value = UserID;
mySqlCom.Parameters.Add("@Nominated", SqlDbType.Bit).Value = Nominated;
mySqlCon.Open();
mySqlCom.ExecuteNonQuery();
mySqlCon.Close();
}
I get an error saying
Incorrect Syntax near @Nominated
first, when executing a procedure with parameter(s), separate the parameters with a comma
EXECUTE pr_Update @UserID, @Nominated
second, modify your code into this,
string sConnString = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConString1"].ConnectionString;
using(SqlConnection mySqlCon = new SqlConnection(sConnString))
{
using(SqlCommand mySqlCom = new SqlCommand())
{
mySqlCom.Connection = mySqlCon;
mySqlCom.CommandText = "pr_Update";
mySqlCom.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
mySqlCom.Parameters.Add("@UserID", SqlDbType.VarChar, 20).Value = UserID;
mySqlCom.Parameters.Add("@Nominated", SqlDbType.Bit).Value = Nominated;
try
{
mySqlCon.Open();
mySqlCom.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
catch(SqlException ex)
{
// do something with the exception
// don't hide it
}
}
}
You are missing a comma (,) between the parameters.
It should be
mySqlCom.CommandText = "EXECUTE pr_Update @UserID, @Nominated";
mySqlCom.Parameters.Add("@UserID", SqlDbType.VarChar, 20).Value = UserID;
mySqlCom.Parameters.Add("@Nominated", SqlDbType.Bit).Value = Nominated;
Alternatively, since all you are doing is calling a stored proc, you could do:
mySqlCom.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure ;
mySqlCom.CommandText = "pr_Update"; //no need to specify parameter names
mySqlCom.Parameters.Add("@UserID", SqlDbType.VarChar, 20).Value = UserID;
mySqlCom.Parameters.Add("@Nominated", SqlDbType.Bit).Value = Nominated;
Give only name of stored procedure, as you are adding parameter in statements after this. Also set CommandType.
mySqlCom.CommandText = "pr_Update";
mySqlCom.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
You are invoking wrong SQL. You should set the command text of command to pr_Update
only:
mySqlCom.CommandText = "pr_Update";
And set type command type to stored procedure:
mySqlCom.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
