Can someone explain one piece of parameter instantiation code 1

[SBendBuckeye]

Hello all,

Someone sent me this code to instantiate a parameter object.

cmd1.Parameters.Append(cmd1.CreateParameter("Project", adVarChar, adParamInput, 30, request("Project")))

I understand everything except the request() part. I assume that it returns the corresponding column name for the parm name referenced as argument 1. Can someone elaborate on this method or where I can find it? Thanks!

The last parameter to the 'createParameter' function is the value, and so this gey was simply putting the the value there, which was request("Project"), so he was using ASP.net and putting in a value from a form or querystring variable. A slightly different example is shown below...

cmd1.Parameters.Append(cmd1.CreateParameter("@MyParamName", adVarChar, adParamInput, 30, MyValue))

Request is a member of System.Web.UI.Page. It is the HttpRequest sent to the server. You are getting out a form variable posted to the server. That is the value for the parameter
