And I thought my grammar was poor....

Just saw this exception for the first time

"An SqlParameter with ParameterName 'indate' is not contained by this SqlParameterCollection."

OK MS, this should read

"A SqlParameter with ParameterName 'indate' is not contained by this SqlParameterCollection."

  • I guess it depends on how you read it. Do you see the first three letters as



    "Sequel"



    or the letters



    "S-Q-L"



    I guess MS must read it as "S-Q-L", hence "An s-q-l parameter...".



    Just a guess! :)

  • I write it both ways depending on how I mentaly expand the SQL acronym. If you pronounce SQL as "ess-que-ell" then it would be appropriate to say "an SQL server". If you say SQL as Sequel, then say "a SQL server".

  • Either way, it should read:

    "...is not contained in this SqlParameterCollection."

  • Hows about we let them fix the bugs first? Besides I'm not sure many of us would survive in a world where our error messages are held up to grammatical inspection!

  • Robert, I guess we need to write our For\Each loops:



    For each blah as blah 'by' blahCollection....



    ;-)
