I am developing a C# web application in VS 2008 which interacts with my Adventureworks database in my SQL Server 2008. Now I am trying to add new records to one of the tables which has an XML column in it. How do I do this? This is the error I'm getting:

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException was caught

  Source=".Net SqlClient Data Provider"

And this is a portion of my code in C#:

    try
            {
                SqlConnection conn2 = new SqlConnection(connString);
                SqlCommand cmd = conn2.CreateCommand();
                cmd.CommandText = "dbo.AppendDataC";
                cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
                cmd.Connection = conn2;
...
                sqlParam10.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.VarChar;
                SqlParameter sqlParam11 = cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@" + ht["@col11"], d[10]);
                sqlParam11.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.VarChar;
                SqlParameter sqlParam12 = cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@" + ht["@col12"], d[11]);
                sqlParam12.SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Xml;
...
                conn2.Open();
                cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); //This is the line it fails on and then jumps
                                       //to the Catch statement
                conn2.Close();
                errorMsg = "The Person.Contact table was successfully updated!";
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {

Right now in my text input MDF file I have the XML parameter as:

'<Products><id>3</id><id>6</id><id>15</id></Products>'

Is this valid format for XML?
