SQL Insert Parameters.AddWithValue Error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Incorrect syntax near ' '.

Hello,
Have a web page that will insert a new record into a SQL db. Coming up with this error:

"System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Incorrect syntax near ' '. at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection, Action`1 wrapCloseInAction) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection, Action`1 wrapCloseInAction) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning(TdsParserStateObject stateObj, Boolean callerHasConnectionLock, Boolean asyncClose) at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.TryRun(RunBehavior runBehavior, SqlCommand cmdHandler, SqlDataReader dataStream, BulkCopySimpleResultSet bulkCopyHandler, TdsParserStateObject stateObj, Boolean& dataReady) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.FinishExecuteReader(SqlDataReader ds, RunBehavior runBehavior, String resetOptionsString) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.RunExecuteReaderTds(CommandBehavior cmdBehavior, RunBehavior runBehavior, Boolean returnStream, Boolean async, Int32 timeout, Task& task, Boolean asyncWrite, SqlDataReader ds) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.RunExecuteReader(CommandBehavior cmdBehavior, RunBehavior runBehavior, Boolean returnStream, String method, TaskCompletionSource`1 completion, Int32 timeout, Task& task, Boolean asyncWrite) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.InternalExecuteNonQuery(TaskCompletionSource`1 completion, String methodName, Boolean sendToPipe, Int32 timeout, Boolean asyncWrite) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() at line 73 ClientConnectionId:f07651ef-aa93-47f6-8461-10497529a466"

Open in new window

Line 73 is cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
I tried doing an insert with 1 parameter. Same error. It must be something else.

The aspx page has textboxes & 1 dropdown.

Here's the aspx.vb page

Imports ExecNonQuerySQL

Protected Sub btnNext_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnNext.Click
Dim today As Date
today = FormatDateTime(Now, DateFormat.ShortDate)
Dim strSQL As String
Dim thisManual As String = "Xmanual"
Dim quant As Integer
strSQL = "INSERT INTO ManualOrders "
strSQL = strSQL + "(FirstName, LastName, Business, Address1, Address2, City, Zip, [State], Phone, Email, Quantity, ManualType, OrderDate) "
strSQL = strSQL + "Values(@FirstName, @LastName, @Business, @Address1, @Address2, @City, @State, @Zip, @Phone, @Email, @Quantity, @ManualType, @OrderDate)"

Dim con As SqlConnection
con = addData()

Using con

Using cmd As New SqlCommand(strSQL, con)
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@FirstName", Trim(fname.Text))
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@LastName", Trim(lname.Text))
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Business", Trim(business.Text))
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Address1", Trim(address1.Text))
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Address2", Trim(address2.Text))
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@City", Trim(city.Text))
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@State", Trim(state.Text))
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Zip", Trim(zip.Text))
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Phone", Trim(phone.Text))
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Email", Trim(email.Text))
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Quantity", quant)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ManualType", thisManual)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@OrderDate", today)

Try
con.Open()
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
lbl1.Text = "<font color='red'>Success</font> <br>" & strSQL & "<p>"

Catch ex As SqlException
lbl2.Text = "<div class='text'>" & strSQL & "<br>" & ex.ToString & "</div>"
lbl1.Text = "<font color='red'>So Sorry.</font><p>"
Finally
con.Close()
End Try

End Using
End Using

Open in new window

Here's the class:

Public Class ExecNonQuerySQL
Public Shared Function addData() As SqlConnection
Dim con As New SqlConnection(GetConnectionString())
Return con
End Function

Private Shared Function GetConnectionString() As String
Dim returnValue As String = Nothing
Dim settings As ConnectionStringSettings = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("thisconnection")
returnValue = settings.ConnectionString
Return returnValue
End Function

Put in a breakpoint and verify the strSQL value that you are sending.

One thing, you have your State & Fields in different orders between your insert columns and values. But that shouldn't be causing your error.

strSQL = strSQL + "(FirstName, LastName, Business, Address1, Address2, City, Zip, [State], Phone, Email, Quantity, ManualType, OrderDate) "
strSQL = strSQL + "Values(@FirstName, @LastName, @Business, @Address1, @Address2, @City, @State, @Zip, @Phone, @Email, @Quantity, @ManualType, @OrderDate)"

The values are there - being submitted. I switched it around and tried inserting the values directly without AddWithValue

Pulled the textbox values before and assigned them to the variables in the string.

strSQL = "INSERT INTO Orders "
strSQL = strSQL + "(FirstName, LastName, Business, Address1, Address2, City, [State], Zip, Phone, Email, Quantity, ManualType, OrderDate) "
strSQL = strSQL + "VALUES ('" & fnamex & "', '" & lnamex & "', '" & busx & "', '" & addr1x & "', '" & addr2x & "', '" & cityx & "', '" & statex & "', '" & zipx & "', '" & phonex & "', '" & emailx & "', " & quant & ", '" & thisManual & "', '" & today & "' )"

recordsInserted = InsertRecord(strSQL)

InsertRecord class =
Public Shared Function InsertRecord(ByVal strSQL As String) As String

Try
Dim con As New SqlConnection(GetConnectionString())
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand(strSQL, con)
con.Open()
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
con.Close()
con = Nothing
Return 1
Catch ex As Exception
Return ex.ToString
End Try
End Function

Could there be a setting on the sql server?

Could it be that with the InsertRecord returns a string and that's making it blow?

I think it's in data connection class. ExecNonQuerySQL

I have to be able to get records in. Should I try a stored procedure?

Is there a trigger on that table?

No

Did a test to do an insert with values defined in it.
INSERT INTO Orders Values ("JS", "LName", ....)
And it worked.
So as stated above it's something in the insert string. So going to insert not with addwithvalue but taking the values and testing them before insert.

Thanks for the help

I normally use a stored procedure and when I use AddWithValue I don't use the @ sign in front of the variable name. I use it in the stored procedure. For example my stored procedure variable @NetAmount is inserted like this:

If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(MB_Data.NetAmount) Then
SQLCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("NetAmount", SqlDecimal.Parse(MB_Data.NetAmount))
Else
SQLCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("NetAmount", DBNull.Value)
End If

But I have seen it both ways.
