如何从C＃向SQL函数传递可选参数

Question

I have an issue. please help to solve my problem

I have a SQL function

function [dbo].[fnKudishikaAmt]
    (@ParishName nvarchar(100), @Hno int, @dateto datetime = Null)
Returns Decimal(15,2)

This function shows proper result by using the execute command

Select dbo.fnKudishikaAmt('St.George Malankara Catholic Church', 29, default)

My requirement is this function should be called from C#

I am getting the error

Conversion failed when converting datetime from character string

Code:

public double kudishikatotal(string ParishName, Int32 HouseNo)
{
    String SQLText = "select ChurchDB.dbo.fnKudishikaAmt(@ParishName, @Hno, @dateto) as fnresult";

    SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(SQLText);
    cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ParishName", ParishName);
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Hno", HouseNo);
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@dateto", "default");

    string rval = GetSingleValue(cmd);
    double kudiamt = 0;

    if (rval != null)
    {
        kudiamt = Convert.ToDouble(rval);
    }

    return kudiamt;
}

private static string GetSingleValue(SqlCommand cmd)
{
    string ConString = connectionstring();
    string returnvalue = "";

    using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConString))
    {
        cmd.Connection = con;
        con.Open();
        returnvalue = cmd.ExecuteScalar().ToString();
        con.Close();
    }

    return returnvalue;
}

Answer 1

If you've declared default value for parameter in stored procedure - then you can just not pass this parameter from c# code at all, and in this case it will have default value.

In your case exception thrown because it's impossible to convert string "default" to SqlDateTime which is your parameter type.

Answer 2

YOu can use if condition while sending the datetime parameter.

if(some condition)
{
 cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@dateto", dateTimeValue);
}

Here datetimeValue is the value you want to pass. So you will be passing dateTimeValue only if required. The error is due to the string "default" you passed.
