command.parameters.add not working - mysql C#

Question

Using xaml/wpf in C# with MySQL; VS 2013; up-to-date mysql Net Connector (downloaded 3 days ago)

I've realize there's a lot of threads related to my question; but I have yet to find an answer. ... and I'm about to pull my hair out... I get a general exception error:

A first chance exception of type 'MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlException' occurred in System.Data.dll

On this line: adapter.Update(prodTable);

In this function:

private void UpdateDBValues()
        {
            MySqlConnection connection = new MySqlConnection(connString);
            MySqlDataAdapter adapter = new MySqlDataAdapter();

            //Get our current time in our desired string format( ##:## AM/PM)
            DateTime time = DateTime.Now;             // Use current time
            string format = "h:mm tt";            // Use this format
            string timeStr = time.ToString(format);

            //UPDATE
            string updateString = "UPDATE gas_production " +

            //UPDATE ADAPTER
            DataTable prodTable = (DataTable)((DataSourceProvider)FindResource("ProdTable")).Data; //get DataTable
            adapter.Update(prodTable);//finally update
        }

I have retyped 3 times to make sure all information is there; tried AddWithValues, @ and ? sigils, made sure my DataTable was exactly like my MySQL table, verified the Bindings from xaml to c# (which shouldn't matter should they?)...what am I missing here? And/or what different approach can I take to make this work? I believe it is in the syntax of the parameters I'm passing, but I can't find anything wrong and it only throws that 1 error... nothing else.

If I need to provide more information, please let me know what you need.

A little guidance would be greatly, greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Btw, I'm following this tutorial

Answer 1

I faced this error. It turns out I didn't declare the command type as stored Procedure. I added this line and it was fixed.

command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

Answer 2

After trying this multiple times, I decided to start from scratch using a different database. I found out that some of the names of the fields where not being accepted by the connector. So instead of using underscores, like water_line_psi I would recommend trying waterLinePSI, or similar, to avoid those complications. Again, I don't know if that is the exact problem, but I have it working now and that is the only thing I see different.
