MySQL Forums :: C#, Mono, .Net :: Using ExecuteNonQuery() Invalid attempt to access a field before calling Read()

Hello

I know this error has been posted many times before, but I am struggling to understand why it is happening when I am using the ExecuteNonQuery() method from the MySqlCommand library with an INSERT query which, I know, is the right method to use for an INSERT query.

When I run the procedure in my code, no output appears and no record is inserted into the database.

I have double-checked my stored procedure within my database and in my code.
The procedure which is being used is as follows (sorry if it seems long)

DELIMITER $$
