ADO.NET "Argument 'Number' is not a valid value." << "Number" Does Not Exist

No, it is not a typo error in my code. There are no numbers in the parameters, so this came out of nowhere. The parameter "Number" is nowhere to be found.  This is odd and I have no idea how to fix this. I tried dropping the stored proc and re-creating, but the error persists.

Can anyone offer a suggestion on how ti fix this? Code is below.

Thanks for any help.

typo in my last comment. This is what I meant to put. Forgot to change everything to your terminology.

           Dim prmZip As New SqlParameter("@emergency_zipcode", SqlDbType.Char)
            prmZip.Value = strEmergencyZipCode
            cmd.Parameters.Add(prmZip)

I'm still thinking the error in in the error handler:

Err.Raise(Err.Number, ...

The Raise method's first parameter is named Number.

If you test this
Err.Raise(65538, "Test")
you will get the error message "Argument 'Number' is not a valid value."

Both solutions worked.

tomnorra: Your solution worked in spite of my omitting

        On Error GoTo 0
        Exit Sub

Erick37: I missed that omission--DOH :)

Thanks guys.

Yep, the code was falling through to the error handler and the err.number was Nothing.
