VB.NET Sql Parameters Source Code – Insert Statement

Purpose: – Illustrates using with .
Prerequistes:

  1. Install Visual Basic (Express or Standard Edition)
  2. Install SQL Server Express
  3. Download Northwind Database
  4. Attach Northwind Database to Databases in Sql Express

Notes:

  • Console Application is used to simplify things, but Windows Forms or Web Forms could also be used
  • You can build a library of syntax examples by using same project over and over and just commenting out what you do not want to execute in Module1.vb

Instructions:

  1. Use VB 2008 (Express or Standard) Edition
  2. Create new project; select Console Application; name of Project could be VBNET_Syntax.
  3. Right-click project name in solution explorer; add new folder; name of folder could be DatabaseADONET
  4. Right-click folder; add class; class name could be clsSqlInsert.vb
  5. Copy code into clsSqlInsert.vb
  6. Copy code into Module1.vb
  7. Click green arrow to start with debugging

Step 1: Use View Plain to Cut-n-paste code into clsSqlInsert.vb

 
Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
 
Public Class clsSQLInsert
 
    Sub Main()
        Dim thisConnection As New SqlConnection("server=.\SQLEXPRESS;" & _
            "integrated security=sspi;database=Northwind")
 
        'Create Command object
        Dim nonqueryCommand As SqlCommand = thisConnection.CreateCommand()
 
        Try
            ' Open Connection
            thisConnection.Open()
            Console.WriteLine("Connection Opened")
 
            ' Create INSERT statement with named parameters
            nonqueryCommand.CommandText = _
               "INSERT  INTO Employees (FirstName, LastName) VALUES (@FirstName, @LastName)"
 
            ' Add Parameters to Command Parameters collection
            nonqueryCommand.Parameters.Add("@FirstName", SqlDbType.VarChar, 10)
            nonqueryCommand.Parameters.Add("@LastName", SqlDbType.VarChar, 20)
 
            ' Prepare command for repeated execution
            nonqueryCommand.Prepare()
 
            ' Data to be inserted
            Dim names() As String = {"Wade", "David", "Charlie"}
            For i As Integer = 0 To 2
                nonqueryCommand.Parameters("@FirstName").Value = names(i)
                nonqueryCommand.Parameters("@LastName").Value = names(i)
 
                Console.WriteLine("Executing {0}", _
                   nonqueryCommand.CommandText)
                Console.WriteLine("Number of rows affected : {0}", _
                   nonqueryCommand.ExecuteNonQuery())
            Next i
        Catch ex As SqlException
            ' Display error
            Console.WriteLine("Error: " & ex.ToString())
        Finally
            ' Close Connection
            thisConnection.Close()
            Console.WriteLine("Connection Closed")
 
        End Try
 
        Console.ReadLine()
 
    End Sub
 
End Class

Step 2: Use View Plain to Cut-n-paste code into Module1.vb

Module Module1
 
    Sub Main()
        '***** DataBase-ADO-NET *************
 
 
        Dim mySQLInsert As New clsSQLInsert
        mySQLInsert.Main()
 
 
    End Sub
 
End Module
