Defining SQL parameters for INSERT Statement in C#

I have created a parameterized SQL insert query and I have made a mistake somewhere. I kept getting a message that values would be truncated, so, during troubleshooting I reduced the query to only fields that required values (NULLs not allowed), and the insert statement completed.

I check the table, and I see my parameter names inserted, not the values they should be pulling from the form's textboxes.

Obviously I am calling my parameters incorrectly but I just can't figure out where I have gone wrong. I am hoping you all can help me.

Thanks in advance!

NOTE: Yes, I know there are more parameters than what I am using in the INSERT string. I have intentionally cut down the values used for troubleshooting.

Thanks again!

try {
    string InsertString = @"INSERT INTO Item.Itemtable
        (ItemNumber, ItemDesc, RatioToOriginalItemNumber, OriginalItemNumber, EntreeCount, ItemType, ProteinBeverage)
        Values(@ItemNumberValue, '@ItemDescValue', @RatioToOriginalItemNumberValue, @OriginalItemNumberValue, @EntreeCountValue, '@ItemTypeValue', @ProteinBeverageValue)";
    SqlCommand InsertNewItem = new SqlCommand(InsertString, PmixWriter);
    //Define Insert Parameters
    SqlParameter @ItemNumberValue = InsertNewItem.Parameters.Add("@ItemNumberValue", System.Data.SqlDbType.Int);
    SqlParameter @ItemDescValue = InsertNewItem.Parameters.Add("@ItemDescValue", System.Data.SqlDbType.VarChar, 100);
    SqlParameter @ItemTypeValue = InsertNewItem.Parameters.Add("@ItemTypeValue", System.Data.SqlDbType.VarChar, 100);
    SqlParameter @ProteinBeverageValue = InsertNewItem.Parameters.Add("@ProteinBeverageValue", System.Data.SqlDbType.VarChar, 100);
    SqlParameter @IsCouponValue = InsertNewItem.Parameters.Add("@IsCouponValue", System.Data.SqlDbType.Char, 3);
    SqlParameter @EntreeCountValue = InsertNewItem.Parameters.Add("@EntreeCountValue", System.Data.SqlDbType.Real);
    SqlParameter @BevCountValue = InsertNewItem.Parameters.Add("@BevCountValue", System.Data.SqlDbType.TinyInt);
    SqlParameter @OriginalItemNumberValue = InsertNewItem.Parameters.Add("@OriginalItemNumberValue", System.Data.SqlDbType.Int);
    SqlParameter @RatioToOriginalItemNumberValue = InsertNewItem.Parameters.Add("@RatioToOriginalItemNumberValue", System.Data.SqlDbType.TinyInt);
    SqlParameter @FPBeverageCountValue = InsertNewItem.Parameters.Add("@FPBeverageCountValue", System.Data.SqlDbType.Int);
    SqlParameter @FPBeverageEntreeCountValue = InsertNewItem.Parameters.Add("@FPBeverageEntreeCountValue", System.Data.SqlDbType.Int);
    SqlParameter @FoodCostValue = InsertNewItem.Parameters.Add("@FoodCostValue", System.Data.SqlDbType.Money);

    //Assign and covert values to the stated SQL parameters.
    @ItemNumberValue.Value = Convert.ToInt32(ItemNumberBox.Text);
    @ItemDescValue.Value = ItemDescBox.Text;
    @ItemTypeValue.Value = ItemTypeBox.Text;
    @ProteinBeverageValue.Value = ProteinBevBox.Text;
    @IsCouponValue.Value = IsCouponBox.Text;
    @EntreeCountValue.Value = Convert.ToInt32(EntreeCountBox.Text);
    @BevCountValue.Value = Convert.ToInt32(BevCountBox.Text);
    @OriginalItemNumberValue.Value = Convert.ToInt32(OriginalItemNumBox.Text);
    @RatioToOriginalItemNumberValue.Value = Convert.ToInt32(RatioBox.Text);
    @FPBeverageCountValue.Value = Convert.ToInt32(FPBevBox.Text);
    @FPBeverageEntreeCountValue.Value = Convert.ToInt32(FPBevEntreeBox.Text);
    @FoodCostValue.Value = Convert.ToDecimal(0.00);

    InsertNewItem.ExecuteNonQuery();
} catch (SqlException) {
    throw;   
}

In your INSERT statement, remove the single quotes from @ItemDescValue and @ItemTypeValue parameters. They are currently being inserted as literal values otherwise.
