should I include the @ when using SqlCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue?
.net, c#, database, parameters
Solution
No, both are equivalent in the end. I personally tend to use the notation with the `@` sign myself, to be consistent with the T-SQL code for stored proc I write.
But as far as I know, both methods are fine for .NET apps interfacing with SQL Server.
Problem
I have always included the at sign in the parameter name when using AddWithValue, but I just noticed some code written by someone else that doesn't use it. Is one way more correct than the other? ``` cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("ixCustomer", ixCustomer); ``` or ``` cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ixCustomer", ixCustomer); ```
