Help with converting vbcode to c sharp.

Question

Greetings I have just started learning the C Sharp language based on what i already know from vb. im currently converting my website to c sharp just to get a feel for the language how ever im stuck. the following vbcode when converted to c sharp does not recognise _param as a defined struct.. (eg: not giving any of the properties.) 'VB Code: Dim _param As SqlParameter = hashEnum.Value objCommand.Parameters.Add(_param.ParameterName _param.ParameterDataType).Value = _param.ParameterValue //C Sharp Code SqlParameter _param = hashEnum.Value; objCommand.Parameters.Add(_param.ParameterName _param.ParameterDataType).Value = _param.ParameterValue; when i go to type _param. i get no intellisense about the properties... can anyone help Thanks Justin

I think you've fallen into the age old VB to C# pitfall. Instead of 'Dim _param As SqlParameter' do 'SqlParameter _param = new SqlParameter()'. You may also need to add in a couple of using statements: using System.Data.SqlClient; and possibly (although I doubt it) using System.Data; Hope that helps.
