How to pass a variable to the SelectCommand of a SqlDataSource?

Question

I want to pass variable from the code behind to the SelectCommand of a SqlDataSource?

I don\'t want to use built-in parameter types (like ControlParameter, QueryStri

Answer 1

Try this instead, remove the SelectCommand property and SelectParameters:

Then in the code behind do this:

SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters.Add("userId", userId.ToString());

SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "SELECT items.name, items.id FROM items INNER JOIN users_items ON items.id = users_items.id WHERE (users_items.user_id = @userId) ORDER BY users_items.date DESC"

While this worked for me, the following code also works:

SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters.Add("userid", DbType.Guid, userId.ToString());
