Solutions

1. Register a parameter at that position before binding (positions start at 1).
2. Verify the registration order matches the bind positions.

When it happens

Trigger: A stored procedure / query parameter is bound or referenced inconsistently with its registration.

Common situations: Calling StoredProcedureQuery or Query with missing, misnamed, or mixed named/positional parameters.
