Hi,

I have just finished converted a vb.net app to c# and one of the lines is to get @ReturnValue from the parameter.

I ended up having to CAST a lot of things..

Is there not a easier way

here is what i have

int rc = ((System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlInt32)(((System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter)(cmd.Parameters["@ReturnValue"])).SqlValue)).Value;

In vb.net it was as simple as doing this

Dim rc As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(cmd.Parameters("@ReturnValue").Value)

Alot easier :-)

But the problem with C# is the property Value isn't available unless I Cast to SqlParameter and i also need to cast to Sqltypes.SqlInt32 - i can't just do a standard Convert.ToInt32
