Constructors
| DbParameter() | Initializes a new instance of the DbParameter class. | 
Properties
| DbType | Gets or sets the DbType of the parameter. | 
| Direction | Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the parameter is input-only, output-only, bidirectional, or a stored procedure return value parameter. | 
| IsNullable | Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the parameter accepts null values. | 
| ParameterName | Gets or sets the name of the DbParameter. | 
| Precision | Gets or sets the maximum number of digits used to represent the Value property. | 
| Scale | Gets or sets the number of decimal places to which Value is resolved. | 
| Size | Gets or sets the maximum size, in bytes, of the data within the column. | 
| SourceColumn | Gets or sets the name of the source column mapped to the DataSet and used for loading or returning the Value. | 
| SourceColumnNullMapping | Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the source column is nullable. This allows DbCommandBuilder to correctly generate Update statements for nullable columns. | 
| SourceVersion | Gets or sets the DataRowVersion to use when you load Value. | 
| Value | Gets or sets the value of the parameter. | 
Methods
| CreateObjRef(Type) | Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object.(Inherited from MarshalByRefObject) | 
| Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object) | 
| GetHashCode() | Serves as the default hash function.(Inherited from Object) | 
| GetLifetimeService() | 
		Obsolete.
	 Retrieves the current lifetime service object that controls the lifetime policy for this instance.(Inherited from MarshalByRefObject) | 
| GetType() | Gets the Type of the current instance.(Inherited from Object) | 
| InitializeLifetimeService() | 
		Obsolete.
	 Obtains a lifetime service object to control the lifetime policy for this instance.(Inherited from MarshalByRefObject) | 
| MemberwiseClone() | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.(Inherited from Object) | 
| MemberwiseClone(Boolean) | Creates a shallow copy of the current MarshalByRefObject object.(Inherited from MarshalByRefObject) | 
| ResetDbType() | Resets the DbType property to its original settings. | 
| ToString() | Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object) | 
Explicit Interface Implementations
| IDataParameter.SourceVersion | Gets or sets the DataRowVersion to use when loading Value. | 
| IDbDataParameter.Precision | Indicates the precision of numeric parameters. | 
| IDbDataParameter.Scale | For a description of this member, see Scale. |
