<asp:SqlDataSou rce ID="SqlDataSour ce1" runat="server"
ConnectionStrin g="<%$ ConnectionStrin gs:myconn %>"
SelectCommand=" SELECT .... FROM mytable"
UpdateCommand=" UPDATE ...." >
<UpdateParamete rs>
<asp:Paramete r Name="id" Type="Int32" />
....
</UpdateParameter s>
</asp:SqlDataSour ce>

<ItemTemplate >
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("n1")
