Use of SqlParameter in SQL LIKE clause not working

Question

I have the following code:

const string Sql = 
    @\"select distinct [name] 
      from tblCustomers 
      left outer join tblCustomerInfo on tblCustomers.         


        

Answer 1

Instead of using:

const string Sql = 
@"select distinct [name] 
  from tblCustomers 
  left outer join tblCustomerInfo on tblCustomers.Id = tblCustomerInfo.CustomerId  
  where (tblCustomer.Name LIKE '%@SEARCH%' OR tblCustomerInfo.Info LIKE '%@SEARCH%');";

Use this code:

const string Sql = 
@"select distinct [name] 
  from tblCustomers 
  left outer join tblCustomerInfo on tblCustomers.Id = tblCustomerInfo.CustomerId  
  where (tblCustomer.Name LIKE '%' + @SEARCH + '%' OR tblCustomerInfo.Info LIKE '%' + @SEARCH + '%');";
