ADO Net demonstrates how to use the AddWithValue method
private static void UpdateDemographics(Int32 customerID,
string demoXml, string connectionString)
{
// Update the demographics for a store, which is stored
// in an xml column.
string commandText = "UPDATE Sales.Store SET Demographics = @demographics "
+ "WHERE CustomerID = @ID;";
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand(commandText, connection);
command.Parameters.Add("@ID", SqlDbType.Int);
command.Parameters["@ID"].Value = customerID;
// Use AddWithValue to assign Demographics.
// SQL Server will implicitly convert strings into XML.
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@demographics", demoXml);
try
{
connection.Open();
Int32 rowsAffected = command.ExecuteNonQuery();
Console.WriteLine("RowsAffected: {0}", rowsAffected);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}
}
}
