Parameter query on nvarchar(max) shows as ntext error - sql-server-2008

Question

I recently converted all ntext column types in my database to nvarchar(max).
I then ran EXECUTE sp_refreshview for the related views.
Yet when I run the following Parameter query (from classic ASP) on a view, I get an error:
Query:
SELECT CARID
FROM vwCAR
WHERE (1=1)
AND (Description LIKE '%'+ ? + '%')
ORDER BY CARID;
Error: The data types nvarchar and ntext are incompatible in the add operator (yet there are no longer any ntext columns!)
Yet I do NOT get this error if I run the same query directly SQL Server without the ? parameter as:
Query:
SELECT CARID
FROM vwCAR
WHERE (1=1)
AND (Description LIKE '%test%')
ORDER BY CARID;
I tried using Convert in the query, but had same result:
Query:
SELECT CARID
FROM vwCAR
WHERE (1=1)
AND (CONVERT(NVARCHAR(MAX), Description) LIKE N'%'+ ? + '%')
ORDER BY CARID;
What am I doing wrong?
Additional information:
I changed the type to nVarChar(4000) instead of (MAX) and everything works fine. This is a work around, but it solved the problem.
Just so I will know for the future, is it possible to run a parameter query using LIKE criteria on a nVarChar(Max) type column?
(Thank you #McNets for the post clean up .. I am new to this)

Answer 1

try to set before :
Set #value = '%' + #value + '%' ;
then use:
(description like #value )

Answer 2

I was using the wrong field type adLongVarWChar (203) in the parameter. Should have been using adVarWChar (202) for the nvarchar(max) type.
Confusion arose when I retrieved the field type directly from the database as noted below, it returned 203 for the nvarchar(max) type, so I assumed setting the parameter based on that type would work.
For each ofield in objRS.Fields
Redim Preserve FieldTypes(1,x)
FieldTypes(0,x) = ofield.type
FieldTypes(1,x) = ofield.definedsize
x = x + 1
