Parameter for stored procedure

Hello,

I am trying to speed up the execution time for

 Dim param As New SqlParameter()
                param.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue
                param.ParameterName = "returnValue"

                add to parameter to collection
                 .Parameters.Add(param)


                .CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
                .Connection = MedicalSQL.GetConnection
                .ExecuteNonQuery()

Select all Open in new window

There is sight suggesting using

Public Sub InsertXML(TheXML As String)
    Using objConn As New SqlConnection(DBConnectionString())
        objConn.Open()
        Using objCmd As New SqlCommand("dbo.ProductsAccessXMLInsert")
            objCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
            objCmd.Connection = objConn
            objCmd.Parameters.Add("ValidXMLInput", SqlDbType.Xml)
            objCmd.Parameters(0).Value = TheXML
 
            objCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
        End Using
        objConn.Close()
    End Using
End Sub

Select all Open in new window

 

Any suggestions on how can i implement this ?
