Retrieve SqlCommand/OleDbCommand query after inserting parameters?

Question

Is there any way to access the prepared statement as sent to the SQL server?

            Dim params(1) As OleDb.OleDbParameter
            params(0) = New OleDb.OleDbParameter("@ID", OleDb.OleDbType.VarChar, 50)
            params(0).Value = guiItemsGridView.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells("ID").Value
            params(1) = New OleDb.OleDbParameter("@SavedValue", OleDb.OleDbType.VarChar, 50)
            params(1).Value = guiItemsGridView.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells("Saved Value").Value

            Dim QueryString As String = "UPDATE Items SET [Saved Value]=@SavedValue WHERE ID=@ID"
            myDatabase.objAdapter.UpdateCommand = New OleDb.OleDbCommand(QueryString, DatabaseConnection)

            myDatabase.objAdapter.UpdateCommand.Parameters.AddRange(params)
            myDatabase.objAdapter.UpdateCommand.Prepare()

            Debug.Print(myDatabase.objAdapter.UpdateCommand.CommandText)

I'm looking for a way to access the prepared query after the parameters have been added. After preparing the command, CommandText still contains the base query UPDATE Items SET [Saved Value]=@SavedValue WHERE ID=@ID even though the parameters have been passed.

I would find it useful to write a log of queries preformed by this chunk of code for debugging other areas of this application.

I tried to search around for a while and couldn't find to use that library to get a sql statement returned that had the parameters inserted. The best I was able to come up with was the SQL Server Profiler in sql server. If you turn it on and check the option SQL:StmtCompleted under the TSQL menu and SP:StmtCompleted under the Stored Procedures menu you will see event textdata columns like this:

SQL:StmtCompleted

EXEC    @return_value = [dbo].[ap_test]
     @User_ID = N'testuser'

SP:Completed

SELECT *
FROM Table1
WHERE User_ID = @User_ID

Since you were looking for a way to log your queries and their respective input parameters this might be useful- however, it would definitely be better if UpdateCommand.CommandText captured the inserted parameters. I will continue to see if a there is a solution out there as i have wanted this functionality several times myself.

I never found a way to log the query using the parameters functionality. I ended up reverting to creating the query in a string, then consuming said string:

QueryString = String.Format("UPDATE Items SET [Saved Value]={0} WHERE ID={1}", SavedValue, ID)

I then consumed that string for both the query and logging functions.
