Invalid Parameter Name

I am having a problem with saving of data because of an incorrectly generated parameter name.

The table has a field "E-mail", and when the class wrapper is generated, the InsertCmd uses "@E-mail" as one of the parameters. In SQL Server, this is illegal and generated an exception.

I have hunted all over SubSonic for a way to modify the parameter name to simply "@Email" but the ParameterName property is read only.

I am using SubSonic 2.2 and don't have the source for it to make an internal modification.

Any ideas?

TIA

I got a mate of mine that uses SVN to pull the source code, and as expected, found a bug in the SS source.

When the column name is set in the class wrapper, the setter for the ColumnName property sets the ParamaterName property for you correctly using "parameterName = Utility.PrefixParameter(Utility.StripNonAlphaNumeric(columnName), Table.Provider);". This removes any illegal characters like the hyphen in my E-mail column.

BUT... The property ParameterName is NOT used when the SQL commands are created. Here is the code in SQLDataProvider.GetInsertSQL, line 1462.

pars.Append(Utility.PrefixParameter( colName, this));

I changed this to

pars.Append(col.ParameterName);

and the problem is now sorted.

Thanks to you that came up with possible solutions.

You can modify the templates if you can't change the column name. See this blog post for details of how:
