An SqlParameter with ParameterName '@UserId' is not contained by this SqlParameterCollection

Question

I had a login page. once user successfuly logged in, they can view and manage their profile/information. This would be done by retrieving data from database and display on a formview.

However this following error appeared inside my userprofile.aspx.cs file:

Exception Details: System.IndexOutOfRangeException: An SqlParameter with ParameterName '@UserId' is not contained by this SqlParameterCollection.

Source Error: 

Line 44: 
Line 45:         // Assign the currently logged on user's UserId to the @UserId parameter
Line 46:         e.Command.Parameters["@UserId"].Value = currentUserId;
Line 47: 
Line 48:     }

Userprofile.aspx.cs:

 protected void SqlDataSource1_Selecting(object sender, SqlDataSourceSelectingEventArgs e)
    {
        // Get a reference to the currently logged on user
        MembershipUser currentUser = Membership.GetUser();

        // Determine the currently logged on user's UserId value
        Guid currentUserId = (Guid)currentUser.ProviderUserKey;

        // Assign the currently logged on user's UserId to the @UserId parameter
        e.Command.Parameters["@UserId"].Value = currentUserId;

    }

Answer 1

If you already have the parameter listed in your SqlDataSource, then simply point to it and change it's value ...

e.Command.Parameters["@UserId"].Value = currentUserId;

You do not need to create a parameter, unless you have not listed it back in your ASP page.

Answer 2

You must add the parameter with

e.Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@UserId", currentUserId);

Once you have added it you could access it through the indexer as in your example.

UPDATE

If you are working with the System.Data.Common namespace, the AddWithValue method is not available. You will have to do something like

var param = e.Command.CreateParameter("@UserId", currentUserId);
e.Command.Parameters.Add(param);

This is a little bit more complicated but has the advantage that you do not have to implicitly create a parameter of a specific type like SqlParamter or OleDbParameter.

Answer 3

Try the following:

DbParameter param = e.Command.CreateParameter();
param.ParameterName = "@UserId";
param.Value = currentUserId;
e.Command.Parameters.Add(param);

I didn't test this though

Answer 4

Create a new SqlParameter and add it to the collection.

SqlParameter param = new SqlParameter("@UserId", currentUserId);
e.Command.Parameters.Add(param);
