C# - System.Xml.XmlException: '@' Character Error

[bluedevil]

I am having an issue with this bit of code.\[code\] XMLParameter param1 = new XMLParameter(); TabletWebService service1 = ModuleName.MainWebService(); param1.Add(ModuleName.AuthorityKey); param1.Add(ModuleName.UserID); param1.Add("@iJobID", jobID); byte[] buffer1 = service1.GetPreviousJobs(param1.ToString(), false);\[/code\]This code uses a stored MS SQL procedure which looks like this:\[code\]create procedure [dbo].[GetPreviousJob]@iJobID intas set nocount onselect pj.*, j.dValuationDatefrom PreviousJobs pj, Jobs jwhere pj.iAttachedID = @iJobID and j.iJobID = pj.iJobID\[/code\]So as you can see i need to use the "@iJobID"The error I am receiving is a common one in google, however I was still not able to find an anwser.ERROR:\[code\]System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request.---> System.Xml.XmlException: Name cannot begin with the '@' character, hexadecimal value 0x40.
