I am trying to pull data from the database into ComboBox2 according to the index selected in ComboBox1, but I get an error, what is the reason?
Error CS1503 2 argument: Cannot convert from 'string' to 'NpgsqlTypes.NpgsqlDbType'
private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string selectedValue = (string)comboBox1.SelectedValue;
using (var connection = new NpgsqlConnection(""))
{
connection.Open();
var command = new NpgsqlCommand("SELECT brand_name FROM brand WHERE material_type = Value", connection);
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("Value", selectedValue , NpgsqlDbType.Char);
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
var reader = command.ExecuteReader();
while (reader.Read())
{
comboBox3.Items.Add(reader["brand_name"]);
}
connection.Close();
}
}
You passed the parameters of AddWithValue() in the wrong order.
public NpgsqlParameter AddWithValue(
string parameterName,
NpgsqlDbType parameterType,
object value)
Your call should look something like this:
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("Value", NpgsqlDbType.Char, selectedValue);
