This is on the very last line where Parameters value is retrieved. And when I entry the open bracket key, right after the 'Parameters' Intellisense shows that object List parameter is int Index.

Not sure why that wouldn't work. Assuming the command is DBCommand where does your code differ from this:

          System.Data.Common.DbCommand command = new SqlCommand();
>>>>            System.Data.IDbDataParameter p = command.CreateParameter();
>>>>            p.ParameterName = "@Param3";

>>>>            p.Value = cVal3;
>>>>            //etc...
>>>>            command.Parameters.Add(p);
>>>>            var v = command.Parameters["@Param3"].Value;

'command' was a DbCommand so it's cast to System.Data.Common.DbParameter - but since the Command instance was SqlCommand it's actually System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter.
i.e. In the debugger: System.Data.Common.DbParameter {System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter}
