Question

Good morning,

I have an ASPX page with an UpdatePanel containing a Gridview and SqlDataSource control. In the SqlDataSource control I specify an InsertCommand. I would like to be able to read the InsertCommand that my page will send to the SQL database. Reading the following

mySqlDataSource.InsertCommand

in code-behind gives me the InsertCommand with @parameters rather than the actual value for each parameter that will be sent to SQL.

Is there a way to read the final InsertCommand that will actually be sent to the database for execution?

EDIT: Please note, my question could apply to Select, Update, Insert or any command that is sent from my ASPX page to SQL. The command must be converted to a language that SQL can interpret and execute and that is the very version of the command that I am trying to read.

Thank you.

I guess you should subscribe to the Inserting event of your DataSource.

Then, in your Inserting_Handler, you may browse the your DataSource.InsertParameters Collection

private void On_Inserting(Object sender, SqlDataSourceCommandEventArgs e)
{

    var txt = e.Command.CommandText;
    //the parameters names and values are in e.Command.Parameters
}

Hope this will help
