"Duplicated parameter names are not allowed" exception in SQL Server Everywhere

I'm using SQL Server Everywhere CTP with ADO.NET and C# 2.0 and getting following exception:
"Duplicated parameter names are not allowed. [ Parameter name = @.NODE_ID ]"
for the query:

SELECT CHANGE_TYPE,CHANGED,VTRANS,LINK_PARTITION_ID,LINK_ID, SOURCE_PARTITION_ID,SOURCE_NODE_ID,TARGET_PARTITION_ID,TARGET_NODE_ID,TYPE,LOCAL_CHANGE_TIME,ATTR FROM VP8657b26964d4c595a7430761c222f3b3_REL WHERE (((TARGET_NODE_ID=@.NODE_ID AND REL_BASE_TYPE=2)) AND LOCAL_CHANGE_TIME > @.LOCAL_CHANGE_TIME ) OR ((SOURCE_NODE_ID=@.NODE_ID AND REL_BASE_TYPE=2)) ORDER BY LOCAL_CHANGE_TIME DESC

Without underlined frament, query runs fine

IDbCommand.Parameters shows that there are exactly 2 parameters with different names: @.LOCAL_CHANGE_TIME and @.NODE_ID

Exception stack trace is:
System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll!System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeCommand.CompileQueryPlan() + 0xd5 bytes
System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll!System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeCommand.ExecuteCommand(System.Data.CommandBehavior behavior = Default, string method = "ExecuteReader", System.Data.SqlServerCe.ResultSetOptions options = None) + 0x145 bytes

System.Data.dll!System.Data.Common.DbCommand.System.Data.IDbCommand.ExecuteReader() + 0xa bytes

So, what this exception might mean? does it mean that a parameter might not be used multiple times in a query?

Unfortunately, that's precisely what it means. If you watch (with SQL Profiler, for example) how a query is run when you submit it with ADO, you'll see that it's fluffed and rumpled just a little bit -- in order to make parameters work. That fluff-and-rumple mechanism can't deal with the same parameter name being bound again.

You can rewrite your query to be a batch that assigns @.NODE_ID to a variable, then reference the variable in the query. Or, you can create @.NODE_ID1 and @.NODE_ID2, and spread those guys around in the query -- then bind the same variable in the client code to the two different values (that is, add two parameters, each with the same value as the other).

|||Thanks for your reply,

Is it an issue only with SQL Mobile (aka Everywhere) or this will also

be present in SQL Express and Full-Featured SQL Server or even in any

ADO.NET provider?

SQL Mobile seems not to support batch queries (maybe executing multiply commands within the same connection will work, but it's a pretty mess. )

Anyway, I'm going just to substitue this parameter manually:
com.CommandText = com.CommandText.Replace("@.NODE_ID", "'"+guid.ToString()+"'");
