  selectParameters

  Oct 25, 2005 09:09 AM|LINK

  How would I get a selectParameter from a query string value? This is what I have so far, but it doesn't do anything.
  

  
  
  
  
  <dataSource id="dataSource" serviceURL="DataService.asmx">
  
     <bindings>
  
        <binding dataContext='<%=Request.QueryString("id")%>' dataPath="text" property="selectParameters" propertyKey="id"/>
  
     </bindings>
  
  </dataSource>

  For cases where you have a literal value that you want to use, you don't need bindings. In your case, you can just do something like:
  
  <dataSource ...>
    <selectParameters id='<%=Request.QueryString("id")' />
  </dataSource>

  It works! Thanks again Wilco.

  Lesson learned: We only need to use bindings when the data is not literal like a data service or page method or something that would require another dataSource control.
