Insert datatable into a database table from a stored procedure

Question

I have a datatable with some rows I need to insert that datatable in to database using a stored procedure.

 For Each row As DataRow In dt.Rows
            cmd.Parameters.Add(New MySqlParameter("@DOWNLOAD_ID", dt.Rows(0)("DOWNLOAD_ID").ToString()))
            cmd.Parameters.Add(New MySqlParameter("@FINALY_FIELDCODE", dt.Rows(0)("FINALY_FIELDCODE").ToString().Replace("|", "").ToString()))
            cmd.Parameters.Add(New MySqlParameter("@UNITS", dt.Rows(0)("UNITS").ToString()))
            cmd.Parameters.Add(New MySqlParameter("@CURRECY_CODE", dt.Rows(0)("CURRENCY_CODE").ToString()))
        Next
        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

When i do this I got an exception {"Parameter '@DOWNLOAD_ID' has already been defined."} How to get rid of this exception and can we insert the datatable with out for loop. Can any one help me

You should create separate MySqlCommands and execute them directly:

Using mysqlConnection = New MySqlConnection(connectionString)
    mysqlConnection.Open()
    For Each row As DataRow In dt.Rows
        Using cmd = New MySqlCommand("StoredProcedureName", mysqlConnection)
            cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
            cmd.Parameters.Add(New MySqlParameter("@DOWNLOAD_ID", dt.Rows(0)("DOWNLOAD_ID").ToString()))
            cmd.Parameters.Add(New MySqlParameter("@FINALY_FIELDCODE", dt.Rows(0)("FINALY_FIELDCODE").ToString().Replace("|", "").ToString()))
            cmd.Parameters.Add(New MySqlParameter("@UNITS", dt.Rows(0)("UNITS").ToString()))
            cmd.Parameters.Add(New MySqlParameter("@CURRECY_CODE", dt.Rows(0)("CURRENCY_CODE").ToString()))
            cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
        End Using
    Next
End Using
