There are two ways to add parameters:

command.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE Id = :Id";
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("Id", id);

and

command.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE Id = @Id";
command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Id", id);

Is there any difference in both methods in performance or something else? I also think the difference (if any) should be mentioned in the project Wiki.

There are no differences whatsoever between the two, Npgsql parses the command text and replaces them with PostgreSQL's native parameter placeholders, which are positional and not named ($1, $2).
