VB.NET Procedure or function has too many arguments specified - sql

Question

I have the following stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE MyProc
#posted_xml_body xml
AS
INSERT INTO MyTable
(post_datetime, post_body)
VALUES
(getdate(), #posted_xml_body)
And the following VB code:
Using aConnection As New Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings(connectionString).ConnectionString)
aConnection.Open()
Dim aCommand As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("MyProc", aConnection)
aCommand.CommandType = Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure
aCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("#posted_xml_body", aXMLString)
Dim rows_affected As Integer = aCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
aCommand.Dispose()
aConnection.Close()
Return rows_affected
End Using
However, I keep receiving the following error
"Procedure or function has too many arguments specified."
Thanks for any suggestions.

Answer 1

You pasted wrong or is missing a ")" here
VALUES
(getdate(), #posted_xml_body)

Answer 2

There are couple things I would suggest.
chang the column type to nvarchar(max), select scope identity, just make sure your table as a primary key because you vb code will give you an exception trying to convert date to integer.
CREATE PROCEDURE MyProc
#posted_xml_body as nvarchar(max)
AS
Begin
INSERT INTO MyTable
(post_datetime, post_body)
VALUES
(getdate(), #posted_xml_body);SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY()
END
Your Vb Code
Using aConnection As New Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings(connectionString).ConnectionString)
Dim rows_affected As Integer = 0
Try
aConnection.Open()
Dim aCommand As New Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand("MyProc", aConnection)
aCommand.CommandType = Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure
aCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("#posted_xml_body", aXMLString)
rows_affected = aCommand.ExecuteScalar()
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
Finally
If aConnection.State = ConnectionState.Open Then
aConnection.Close()
End If
End Try
Return rows_affected
End Using
