You can set your parameter's value like that :

SqlParameter parameter1 = new SqlParameter("@ClientID", SqlDbType.BigInt);
parameter1.Value = 32;
SqlDataSource2.SelectParameters.Add(parameter1);

You can workaround it by the Selecting event on the SqlDataSource, i now how frustraiting is to be restricted in this kind of controls !!!

Another alternative would be to add a HiddenField to your form, and the SqlDataSource could take its value from there.

Hi,

The trick to make it work is to remove the paremeter you are trying to use before adding it. The following adapted version of your code should work:

' NOTE that there is no "@" sign when you use your parameters in the code
Parameter p = strCommandSqlDataSource2.SelectParameters["ClientID"]
strCommandSqlDataSource2.SelectParameters.Remove(p)
strCommandSqlDataSource2.SelectParameters.Add("ClientID", iClientID)

You should not use "@" sign when naming parameters in the code portion of its usage. You should use it only in the SQLCOMMAND string.

Hope it helps.
