ObjectDataSource Parameter Passing

RE: ObjectDataSourc e Parameter Passing

The DefaultValue is the correct way to set such parameters at run-time.
(There is no databound value to replace it)

RE: ObjectDataSourc e Parameter Passing

Thanks for the reply. I have a follow-up question:

Should I use the Default Value or add the parameter for best practice?

1) ObjectDataSourc e1.SelectParame ters("LastNam") .DefaultValue=" Doe"

2) ObjectDataSourc e1.SelectParame ters.Add("LastN ame", "Doe")

RE: ObjectDataSourc e Parameter Passing

I prefer to specify the parameter type to ensure type-casting is done
correctly particularly when the value might be affected by the Culture
setting of the server running the application. e.g.

ObjectDataSourc e1.SelectParame ters.Add(New
WebControls.Par ameter("OrderDa te", TypeCode.DateTi me, Now.ToString()) )
