I have a SqlDataSource that I am trying to set an insert command with additional text after every table to switch for testing. I wanted to do this with an <appSetting> in the web.config.

When I do the following

<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSourceDRDocument" runat="server" 
    ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ISNORTHConnectionString %>" 
    ProviderName="System.Data.SqlClient"          
    InsertCommand="insert into DR_Document<%$ AppSettings:tablename %>
    (Columns) Values (Values)">
<asp:SqlDataSource>

I get

Invalid object name 'DR_Division<%$ AppSettings:tablename %>'

What am I doing wrong?

In Page_Load()

string tablename = DocumentRepository.Settings.getSetting("tablename");
SqlDataSourceDRDocument.InsertCommand="insert into DR_Document"+
tablename+" (Columns) Values (Values)";

In web.config

<appSettings>
  <add key="tablename" value="_test"></add>
</appSettings>
