sql query works in azure data studio but returns nothing via vs code - sql

Question

I have the following SQL query that returns a few rows when I try in Azure Data Studio:
SELECT
A.ReportRefreshDate, COUNT(ActivityName) AS TotalActivity,
ActivityName as ActivityType
FROM
WidgetActivity A
INNER JOIN
WidgetUsers ON LOWER(WidgetUsers.UserPrincipalName) = LOWER(A.UserId)
WHERE
A.TMID = 4
AND WidgetUsers.Branch = '52'
AND A.ReportRefreshDate BETWEEN DATEADD(DD, -300, GETDATE()) AND GETDATE()
AND A.ActivityName IN ('Action1', 'Action2')
GROUP BY
A.ActivityName, A.ReportRefreshDate
This returns a few rows like this:
ReportRefreshDate TotalActivity ActivityType
-----------------------------------------------------
2022-05-16 07:18:06.000 9 Action1
2022-05-16 07:18:06.000 3 Action2
But when I try this in VS Code, it returns an empty result set.
Here's the code snippet:
Console.WriteLine(activityFilter);
activityByActivityType = conn.Query<WidgetActivityDetailsByActivityTypes>(
#"
SELECT A.ReportRefreshDate, COUNT(ActivityName) AS TotalActivityCount, ActivityName AS ActivityType
FROM WidgetActivity A
INNER JOIN WidgetUsers
ON LOWER(WidgetUsers.UserPrincipalName) = LOWER(A.UserId)
WHERE
A.TMID = #TM
AND WidgetUsers.Branch = #Branch
AND A.ReportRefreshDate BETWEEN DATEADD(DD, -#RefreshDate, GETDATE()) AND GETDATE()
AND A.ActivityName IN (#ActivityList)
GROUP BY A.ActivityName, A.ReportRefreshDate
",
new { Branch=branchId, TM = tmid, RefreshDate = dateRange, ActivityList = activityFilter}).ToList();
}
return activityByActivityType;
I think the problem is related to the #ActivityList variable because when I remove that AND clause, a bunch of data is returned.
The Console.Writeline on activityFilter returns this:
'Activity1', 'Activity2'
which looks correct to me.
I'm sure it's something simple I've missed but I can't see it.
Any help would be appreciated.

I had to change the sql to look like this:
activityByActivityType = conn.Query<WidgetActivityDetailsByActivityTypes>(
$#"
SELECT A.ReportRefreshDate, COUNT(ActivityName) AS TotalActivityCount, ActivityName AS ActivityType
FROM WidgetActivity A
INNER JOIN WidgetUsers
ON LOWER(WidgetUsers.UserPrincipalName) = LOWER(A.UserId)
WHERE
A.TMID = #TM
AND WidgetUsers.Branch = #Branch
AND A.ReportRefreshDate BETWEEN DATEADD(DD, -#RefreshDate, GETDATE()) AND GETDATE()
AND A.ActivityName IN ({activityFilter})
GROUP BY A.ActivityName, A.ReportRefreshDate
",
new { Branch=branchId, TM = tmid, RefreshDate = dateRange}).ToList();
}
