Devart.Data.DB2 Namespace / DB2Command Class / Parameters Property
Example

Parameters Property
Gets or sets the DB2ParameterCollection.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Shadows ReadOnly Property Parameters As DB2ParameterCollection
 

Property Value

The parameters of a SQL statement or a stored procedure. The default value is an empty collection.
Remarks
By default, you have to construct this collection and provide values for it manually. However, if you choose to use autosynchronization mode by setting ParameterCheck property to true you can have the collecton adjusted automatically. Please refer to article Using Parameters in dotConnect for DB2 for detailed information on using this mode.
Example
The following example creates a DB2Connection, DB2Command, fills its parameters and displays them. An UPDATE statement with the parameters involved is executed then.
static void CreateCommand(DB2Connection db2Connection, string mySelectQuery, DB2Parameter[] myParamArray)
{
  DB2Command db2Command = new DB2Command(mySelectQuery, db2Connection);
  string myMessage = "";
  for (int i = 0; i < myParamArray.Length; i++)
  {
    db2Command.Parameters.Add(myParamArray[i]);
    myMessage += db2Command.Parameters[i].ToString() + "\n";
  }
  Console.Write(myMessage);
  try
  {
    db2Connection.Open();
    db2Command.ExecuteNonQuery();
  }
  finally
  {
    db2Connection.Close();
  }
}

static void Main(string[] args)
{
  DB2Parameter[] myParams = new DB2Parameter[] 
    {
      new DB2Parameter("DeptNo", 10),
      new DB2Parameter("DName", "COUNTING")
    };
  DB2Connection db2Connection1 = new DB2Connection(
      "user id=db2admin;server=db2;database=SAMPLE;");
  CreateCommand(db2Connection1,"UPDATE Dept SET DName = :DName WHERE DeptNo = :DeptNo",myParams);
}
Public Sub CreateCommand(ByVal db2Connection As Devart.Data.DB2.DB2Connection, _
 ByVal mySelectQuery As String, ByVal myParamArray() As Devart.Data.DB2.DB2Parameter)
  Dim db2Command As New Devart.Data.DB2.DB2Command(mySelectQuery, db2Connection)
  Dim myMessage As String = ""
  Dim i As Integer
  For i = 0 To (myParamArray.Length - 1)
    db2Command.Parameters.Add(myParamArray(i))
    myMessage = String.Concat(myMessage, " ", db2Command.Parameters(i).ToString())
  Next
  Console.WriteLine(myMessage)
  Try
    db2Connection.Open()
    db2Command.ExecuteNonQuery()
  Finally
    db2Connection.Close()
  End Try
End Sub

Sub Main()
  Dim myP1 As New Devart.Data.DB2.DB2Parameter
  myP1.ParameterName = "DeptNo"
  myP1.Value = 10
  Dim myP2 As New Devart.Data.DB2.DB2Parameter
  myP2.ParameterName = "DName"
  myP2.Value = "ACCOUNTING"
  Dim myParams(1) As Devart.Data.DB2.DB2Parameter
  myParams(0) = myP1
  myParams(1) = myP2
  Dim db2Connection1 As New Devart.Data.DB2.DB2Connection( _
      "user id=db2admin;server=db2;database=SAMPLE;")
  CreateCommand(db2Connection1, "UPDATE Dept SET DName = :DName WHERE DeptNo = :DeptNo", myParams)
End Sub
