I am trying to build my own DB Class and am trying to set up my parameter
list in an array of SqlParameter objects.

In my regular code I would do something like:
*********************************************************
 Dim dbCmd As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("GetUsers", dbConn)
 dbCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure

 dbCmd.Parameters.Add("@UserID",SqlDBType.Int).value = 1
************************************************************

In this I add the the value dircectly into the .Add SqlParameter statement.

In my class, I get an error if I do the same thing and have to do the
assignment afterwords:
**************************************
Sub LoadGrid()
 Dim parameters as SqlParameter() = { _
  New SqlParameter("@UserID",SqlDBType.Int) }

 parameters(0).value = 1
 *****************************************

Is there a way to do the above line in one statement, such as:

New SqlParameter("@UserID",SqlDBType.Int).value = 1

Thanks,

Tom
