What size do you use for varchar(MAX) in your parameter declaration?

Question

I normally set my column size when creating a parameter in ADO.NET

But what size do I use if the column is VARCHAR(MAX)?

cmd.Parameters.

For those of us who did not see -1 by Michal Chaniewski, the complete line of code:

cmd.Parameters.Add("@blah",SqlDbType.VarChar,-1).Value = "some large text";
