I'm defining a UDT in my MS SQL Server 2012 DB and using that in a stored procedure in the database. I'm trying to call my stored procedure from my c# program and I'm getting an error. Here's my code:

This is the definition of my UDT:

CREATE TYPE [dbo].[udt_850File] AS TABLE(

    [strInbound850FromPharmacyFilename] [nvarchar](1000) NULL,

    [strSenderID_ISA06] [nvarchar](15) NOT NULL,

    [strReceiverID_ISA08] [nvarchar](15) NOT NULL,

    [strInterchangeControlVersion_ISA12] [nvarchar](5) NOT NULL,

    [strInterchangeControlNumber_ISA13] [nvarchar](9) NOT NULL,

    [chElementDelimiter] [nchar](1) NOT NULL,

    [chComponentElementDelimiter] [nchar](1) NOT NULL,

    [chSegmentTerminator] [nchar](1) NOT NULL,

    [intTransmissionDate_GS04] [int] NOT NULL,

    [strVersionRelease_GS08] [nvarchar](12) NOT NULL,

    [strTransSetControl_ST02] [nvarchar](9) NOT NULL,

    [strPONumber_BEG03] [nvarchar](22) NOT NULL,

    [intPODate_BEG05] [int] NOT NULL,

    [strWholesalerAccountNum_N1BY04] [nvarchar](80) NOT NULL,

    [dtFileCreatedDateTime] [datetime] NOT NULL

)

Here is my stored procedure definition:

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[ppisp_sp_850Files_Insert]

    @850FileData [dbo].[udt_850File] READONLY

    BEGIN



        DECLARE @ReturnVal INT = 0

            }

            return dtPP_ISP_Files_Return;

        }

    }

}

and lastly here is my code where I initialize my datatable and try to pass it to the stored procedure in my database:

using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(strSPName, con))

{

    PP_ISP_File_Data dtFileInfo = new PP_ISP_File_Data(strWatchPath, intFileType);



    cmd.CommandText = strSPName;

    cmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure;



    SqlParameter spFilenames = new SqlParameter("@850FileData", SqlDbType.Structured);

    spFilenames.TypeName = "dbo.udt_850File";

    spFilenames.Value = dtFileInfo;



    cmd.Parameters.Add(spFilenames);



    SqlParameter returnParameter = new SqlParameter("@ReturnVal", SqlDbType.Int);

    returnParameter.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue;



    cmd.Parameters.Add(returnParameter);



    con.Open();

    cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

    int result = Convert.ToInt16(returnParameter.Value);

}

Running my code gives me this error:

System.InvalidCastException: 'Failed to convert parameter value from a
PP_ISP_File_Data to a IEnumerable`1.'

I have a suspicion that because I'm declaring my datatable in a class file it's not getting something that it needs to be able to enumerate over it when it gets passed to the stored procedure but I don't know how to correct that. Can someone please point me in the right direction to fix this? Thanks in advance.

You actually need to pass datatable as parameter to the stored procedure for it to be used as UDT but right now you are passing whole object of your class which will not work.

So change the following line:

spFilenames.Value = dtFileInfo;

to:

spFilenames.Value = dtFileInfo.dt_Files_Info;

From MSDN:

System.Data.SqlClient supports populating table-valued parameters from DataTable, DbDataReader or IEnumerable SqlDataRecord objects.

Also refer to Passing a Table-Valued Parameter to a Stored Procedure

You can take a look at the following posts for more:

Hope it helps.
