Question

I have an SQL query but it will will only know the movie type in page load. This will be connected to a datalist.

My query is

select * from movies where movieType = @type

Is there a way to pass parameters at runtime to the sql datasource?

Thanks

You will need to add the parameter to your SqlCommand when you make your SQL call.

myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@type", type);

In this example, the variable you are passing in from .Net is ‘type’

This MSDN article should help you understand parameter passing.
