  • Error on sql database “Must declare the scalar variable”

I am getting this error when trying to run the code below. Any insight on to what I am doing wrong? I am pretty new to this, and want to get this to work pretty bad. I have gotten zero help from this site so far in a previous question I asked. But decided to give this forum another shot, before giving up on stackoverflow



protected void SaveButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SqlConnection myConnection =
new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=.sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=TESTdatabase;Integrated Security=True");
SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(
"INSERT into tblGenerator (GeneratorName, GeneratorAddress, GeneratorCity, GeneratorState, GeneratorZip, GeneratorPhone, GeneratorContact, GeneratorEPAID)" +
"VALUES (@GenName, @GenAdd, @GenCity, @GenState, @GenZip, @GenPhone, @GenContact, @GenEPAID), myConnection");
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@GeneratorName", GenName.Text);
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@GeneratorAddress", GenAdd.Text);
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@GeneratorCity", GenCity.Text);
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@GeneratorState", GenState.Text);

  • Thank you very much for the response, I was mistaken as to what object I was supposed to put in the quotes, and was using the name of the fields from the sql table.

  • @Mr.B LarsTech was talking about myConnection that you also put inside the query string like in your previous question. You have it highlighted with syntax. You are supposed to call docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/…, you are calling docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/….

First, Stackoverflow is very helpful :) Don't give up on this platform.



Now for your question:



The parameters your SQL statement is expecting are:



(@GenName, @GenAdd, @GenCity, @GenState, @GenZip, @GenPhone, @GenContact, @GenEPAID)


While you later assign them with different names.



It should be:



    myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@GenName", GenName.Text);
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@GenAdd", GenAdd.Text);
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@GenCity", GenCity.Text);
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@GenState", GenState.Text);
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@GenZip", GenZip.Text);
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@GenPhone", GenPhone.Text);
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@GenContact", GenContact.Text);
myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@GenEPAID", GenEPAID.Text);


When using @parameter , you must assign a value to a parameter with the same exact name.
