Parameter error for executeNonQuery()

Jun 27th, 2005

OK, yeah u guessed it. VBnoob here. Like so many other poor souls, lost in a sea of code...heres the dealio-

I know param's need to be completely done and in the correct order for executeNonQuery() to work, but here's my error:

Exception Details: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: No value given for one or more required parameters.

Source Error:

I dunno, looks like i have all the needed parameters to me. Am I missing something dumb here?

Re: Parameter error for executeNonQuery()

Jun 27th, 2005

This may clarify, I changed the UPDATE statement to be more accurate, what you see before each parameter there is the actual column names, many in brackets b/c they would otherwise be illegal in VB code. (I didn't name the little buggers.) The error I get is still the same. Am I allowed to have slightly diff. param names than the corresponding column names?

Re: Parameter error for executeNonQuery()

Well first off you have the second parameter of the Add Method containing the value you are passing in, and not the datatype. And you have not created any Parameter Objects , to store those parameter values for the SQL statement.

cmdSoftware.Parameters.Add("@SoftwareNum", Software.SoftwareNum)

should be

Help with Code Tags

(Toggle Plain Text)

cmdSoftware.Parameters.Add("@SoftwareNum", SqlDataType.Int)

for example.

Values are not passed into the query with parameters like that, but rather it should be done like this:

Help with Code Tags

(Toggle Plain Text)

 Dim objNum as Parameter
objNum = cmdSoftware.Parameters.Add("@SoftwareNum", SqlDataType.Int) 
  objNum.Value = Software.SoftwareNum

Remember: Add method is a for the Parameters Collection. It is a collection of Objects that hold the values which you want to pass to the SQL Statement. But no where in your code do you pass these collection of Parameter Objects the values you want them to contain. The Add method takes two Parameters (empty string, sql or odbc Datatype). Take a look at the Parameters Collection Class (a blueprint for a parameter object).

Hope this helps.

**Note : You should use msdn.microsoft.com to research the methods & parameters those methods take, when you are coding, and check out the Tutorials on Daniweb....may just help!. **

Re: Parameter error for executeNonQuery()

FYI

By the way you do not add the [Software #] = @SoftwareNum into your Update Statement. It is your Primary Key value, so you wouldn't be updating it on the fly when using a where clause. Not proper Referential Integrity with that type of SQL update statement.

I suspect that one of your parameters contains a NULL.
By the way, if you use imbedded code instead of stored procedures you are exposing yourself to hacking by injection.
good luck.

Thank you all for your time in replying to my question. I am bogged down today, working on switching some servers from Novell to Windows NT (hooray!),

but hopefully I'll be able to address these issues soon! Man, I'm glad I found this site. :mrgreen: Thanks again.

Re: Parameter error for executeNonQuery()

OK, I'm back with modified code- but no dice. Same error. I changed the parameter entry stuff according to Paladine's advice, and I got my debugger working, and checked all 10 of my parameters- they all contain values, none of them are null. How then can I be getting this error? :surprised

Re: Parameter error for executeNonQuery()

Jun 30th, 2005

Try adding for each parameter, before the value assignment :

objParam.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input

Replace objParam with your parameter variable(s).

That may solve the problem

Re: Parameter error for executeNonQuery()

Well, after much effort I have stumbled on the solution. The problem was merely that my update statement, composed of a number of string parameters needed to have single quotes around each item. The code looks like this:

 Help with Code Tags 
 VB.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
Dim sUpdate As String = "UPDATE [SOFTWARE DATABASE] SET " _
                                    & "[Software Name]='@SoftwareName', Version='@Version', " _
                                    & "Location='@Location', [Soft Brand]='@SoftwareBrand', DatePurchased='@DatePurchased', " _
                                    & "FirstName='@FirstName', LastName='@LastName', SerialNumber='@SerialNumber' Model='@Model' " _
                                    & "WHERE SoftwareNum='@SoftwareNum'"
Dim sUpdate As String = "UPDATE [SOFTWARE DATABASE] SET " _
                                    & "[Software Name]='@SoftwareName', Version='@Version', " _
                                    & "Location='@Location', [Soft Brand]='@SoftwareBrand', DatePurchased='@DatePurchased', " _
                                    & "FirstName='@FirstName', LastName='@LastName', SerialNumber='@SerialNumber' Model='@Model' " _
                                    & "WHERE SoftwareNum='@SoftwareNum'"

I'm not out of the woods yet, as I still have some other problems to deal with, but hey, another day another thread, right?

Thanks to those who assisted in solving this problem and a special thanks to Paladine, I never would have gotten this far without your help big guy. I can't believe you do this stuff for free! :cheesy:

Happy programming y'all.
