Actually, the parameter should be IEnumerable<SqlParameter>. That way you can send in any kind of collection of paramters, like a list or an array.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

Or indeed IEnumerable<DbParameter> to get round the whole "hey I need a SqlCommand" issue.

Yeah, and I even considered doing that for about three minutes, and then decided it was a hack (although no less of a hack than using reflection).
Besides that, putting the parameters into a list would have required the extra overhead of traversing that list in order to fill the SqlCommand's internal collection object, where simply assigning the collection requires just one line of code.

No it wouldn't. You would use Parameters.AddRange to add the parameter collection. You should never traverse a collection to add it to another collection. You should always look to use the AddRange method (if available) as it's much more performant.

Well, no. If you have the SqlParameterCollection being passed into the method, then "all of the nasty SQL stuff" is no longer contained just in the method.

The class is a generic class that simply handles all of the SqlConnection, SqlCommand, and SqlDataAdapter stuff with the requisite exception handling. All I have to do to instantiate the object is pass in either a query string or a app.config keyname for the query string, and then call the appropriate function, some of which allow you to pass parameters. Granted, I could have written a class that inherited my SQLQueries class to hide even the SqlParameterCollection stuff, but that needed to be put off until later.

You always have to do it through SqlCommand class. That is what serves as the factory for parameter collection. Parameter collection belongs to and works in close association with the command object. Things are internal or protected for a certain reason.
You are breaking Good OOP practices by using reflection. For instance, what will happen when in next version of .NET Microsoft decides to add a new internal constructor and decides to get rid of the default constructor. Your code will compile fine but will never run.
As people have suggested List<sqlparameter> is a slightly better option. But I would prefer to get rid of even that and use a method like this:
void ExecuteQuery(string query, IDictionary<string, object=""> values); </string,>
or even better
void ExecuteQuery(string query, params object[] values);
The later one requires a little extra work, but is a better option IMO.

Hi,
I am having a problem that I have been trying to solve for the last 2 weeks. This might be seen in many travel sites like lastminute.com. The situation is simple. I need an indeterminate progress bar. I enter the search criteria/parameters (From/To Date & Destination) in page ‘A’. I click the search button now. I need to be transferred to Page ‘B’, which is empty but consists of a progress bar like image displaying any message and then I need to be transferred to page ‘C’ where the results will be displayed. I use the term “Indeterminate”, coz the progress bar is displayed based on the time taken (which can vary) to display the results and it not a fixed time interval(Usually with thread. sleep type) like u see in many sites. I am using VS 2005 + MS SQL 2005 + ASP.NET 2.0 + AJAX 1.0. Please help me out.

I have a problem with my applications on German OS machines in which I find that the applications crash and the .NET Runtime is reporting exceptions into the Event Viewer.
The same applications running on an English XP Pro SP2 do not crash. Both installed using the same installer.
I appreciate that it may be something I have overlooked. Are there any subtle differences? Is there a specific German version of the .NET runtime that I ought to be installing?
Thanks in advance for your time
Regards

Here's the one that bit me once or twice. A number in the US or UK is 2,000.01. In Germany, it's 2.000,01. That difference of numbering format has caused me some grief a number of times, it's a strong candidate for the root cause of your error.

Thanks for the tip (I've come across this sort of thing in the past when developing Macros for Excel and Word). I just wouldn't expect such an abrupt end to the application.
Many thanks, I'll concentrate on this come Monday morning.

Sounds like you're hitting a culture issue. As Christian has said, take a look at things like the diff between the decimal and thousand separators, but also take a look at datetime formats. These are the two that normally step up and bite you in the ass.

I assumed English to mean UK, but you're right, if it's US, the date is at least as likely to be it. I've seen so much code that bypasses the DateTime class and just string mangles to seperate dates - as I am in Australia, any project I get pulled into from the US, I quickly work out those sort of issues.
