How to load values into parameters

[Roger Marlowe]

using the mysql.data connector dll for .net. 1.04 with .net 1.1

what's the best way (or any way) to load an *existing* insertcommand parameter with the value from a textbox?

I've looked among the properties that seem exposed by the VisStudio Intellisense and see nothing that allows access to the params or the param collection or to the params by name.

I'm deep in the fog trying to build a gui interface for my mysql database; I need a *comprehensive* tutorial, book or white paper.

Thanks,
Roger
