PROPERTY: Parameter::Direction

ParameterDirectionEnum = parameterobject.Direction
parameterobject.Direction = ParameterDirectionEnum
 
The Direction property is used to set or return a ParameterDirectionEnum constant that defines the direction of a Parameter object. By direction, we refer to how a Parameter is passed to or from a provider. This can be an input, output, input/output, or a returned value from a stored procedure.
 
You can also set the direction by using the CreateParameter method of the Command object. The default direction for this method is adParamInput.
