It seems daft, but I think when you use the same bind variable twice you have to set it twice:

cmd.Parameters.Add("VarA", "24");
cmd.Parameters.Add("VarB", "test");
cmd.Parameters.Add("VarB", "test");
cmd.Parameters.Add("VarC", "1234");
cmd.Parameters.Add("VarC", "1234");

Certainly that's true with Native Dynamic SQL in PL/SQL:

SQL> begin
  2     execute immediate 'select * from emp where ename=:name and ename=:name'
  3     using 'KING';
  4  end;
  5  /
begin
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01008: not all variables bound


SQL> begin
  2     execute immediate 'select * from emp where ename=:name and ename=:name' 
  3     using 'KING', 'KING';
  4  end;
  5  /
