Collects all parameters relevant to a SqlCeCommand as well as their respective mappings to DataSet columns.

Namespace: System.Data.SqlServerCe
Assembly: System.Data.SqlServerCe (in system.data.sqlserverce.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<DefaultMemberAttribute("Item")> _
Public NotInheritable Class SqlCeParameterCollection
    Inherits DbParameterCollection

[DefaultMemberAttribute("Item")] 
public sealed class SqlCeParameterCollection : DbParameterCollection

[DefaultMemberAttribute(L"Item")] 
public ref class SqlCeParameterCollection sealed : public DbParameterCollection

/** @attribute DefaultMemberAttribute("Item") */ 
public final class SqlCeParameterCollection extends DbParameterCollection

DefaultMemberAttribute("Item") 
public final class SqlCeParameterCollection extends DbParameterCollection

Remarks

The number of parameters in the collection must be equal to the number of parameter placeholders within the command text. Otherwise, the .NET Compact Framework Data Provider for SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP1 may raise an error.

Example

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

Dim cmd As SqlCeCommand = Nothing
Dim adp As SqlCeDataAdapter = Nothing

Try
    adp = New SqlCeDataAdapter()
    Dim conn As New SqlCeConnection("Data Source = MyDatabase.sdf")

    ' Create the SelectCommand
    '
    cmd = conn.CreateCommand()
    cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE [Ship Country] = @country AND [Ship City] = @city"
    cmd.Parameters.Add("@country", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 15)
    cmd.Parameters.Add("@city", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 15)

    cmd.Parameters("@country").Value = "UK"
    cmd.Parameters("@city").Value = "London"

    adp.SelectCommand = cmd

    ' Create the DeleteCommand
    '
    cmd = conn.CreateCommand()
    cmd.CommandText = "DELETE FROM Orders WHERE [Order ID] = @orderID"

    Dim p As SqlCeParameter = cmd.Parameters.Add("@orderID", SqlDbType.NChar, 5, "Order ID")
    p.SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original

    adp.DeleteCommand = cmd

    ' Populate the dataset with the results from the SELECT statement
    '
    Dim ds As New DataSet()
    adp.Fill(ds)

    ' Modify the dataset
    '
    MessageBox.Show("Number of rows: " & ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count)

    ' Delete some rows
    '
    ds.Tables(0).Rows(3).Delete()
    ds.Tables(0).Rows(4).Delete()

    ' This will execute two DELETE statements 
    '
    adp.Update(ds.Tables(0))
Catch e As Exception
    MessageBox.Show(e.Message)
Finally
    If Not Nothing Is adp.SelectCommand Then
        adp.SelectCommand.Dispose()
    End If
    If Not Nothing Is adp.DeleteCommand Then
        adp.DeleteCommand.Dispose()
    End If
End Try

SqlCeCommand cmd = null;
SqlCeDataAdapter adp = null;

try
{
    adp = new SqlCeDataAdapter();
    SqlCeConnection conn = new SqlCeConnection("Data Source = MyDatabase.sdf");

    // Create the SelectCommand
    //
    cmd = conn.CreateCommand();
    cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM Orders WHERE [Ship Country] = @country AND [Ship City] = @city";
    cmd.Parameters.Add("@country", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 15);
    cmd.Parameters.Add("@city", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 15);

    cmd.Parameters["@country"].Value = "UK";
    cmd.Parameters["@city"].Value = "London";

    adp.SelectCommand = cmd;

    // Create the DeleteCommand
    //
    cmd = conn.CreateCommand();
    cmd.CommandText = "DELETE FROM Orders WHERE [Order ID] = @orderID";

    SqlCeParameter p = cmd.Parameters.Add("@orderID", SqlDbType.NChar, 5, "Order ID");
    p.SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original;

    adp.DeleteCommand = cmd;

    // Populate the dataset with the results from the SELECT statement
    //
    DataSet ds = new DataSet();
    adp.Fill(ds);

    // Modify the dataset
    //
    MessageBox.Show("Number of rows: " + ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count);

    // Delete some rows
    //
    ds.Tables[0].Rows[3].Delete();
    ds.Tables[0].Rows[4].Delete();

    // This will execute two DELETE statements 
    //
    adp.Update(ds.Tables[0]);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    MessageBox.Show(e.Message);
}
finally
{
    if (null != adp.SelectCommand) adp.SelectCommand.Dispose();
    if (null != adp.DeleteCommand) adp.DeleteCommand.Dispose();
}
