Get the generated SQL statement from a SqlCommand object?

by

I have the following code:

Using cmd As SqlCommand = Connection.CreateCommand
    cmd.CommandText = "UPDATE someTable SET Value = @Value"
    cmd.CommandText &= " WHERE Id = @Id"
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Id", 1234)
    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Value", "myValue")
    cmd.ExecuteNonQuery
End Using

I wonder if there is any way to get the final SQL statment as a String, which should look like this:

UPDATE someTable SET Value = "myValue" WHERE Id = 1234

If anyone wonders why I would do this:

  • for logging (failed) statements
  • for having the possibility to copy & paste it to the Enterprise Manager for testing purposes
