Question

Quick question: How do you set defaultvalue with asp? Here is my code:

    <SelectParameters>
        <asp:Parameter Name="ApplicationName" DefaultValue="Membership.ApplicationName"/>
    </SelectParameters>

What’s the syntax to turn Membership.ApplicationName from a string to actually be parsed?

Answer 1

You can do it in your Page_Load method like this:

yourSqlDataSource.SelectParameters.Add(
    new Parameter("ApplicationName", 
                   System.Data.DbType.String, 
                   Membership.ApplicationName));

(Assuming you have an SqlDataSource on the page named yourSqlDataSource)
