EOF with SqlDataSource

I am trying to get record from a table and verify it with a textbox i have a sqldatasource.

i have a text box called txtEmail and this is my Select command. how can i get this working if its possible ?

something like txtEmail.text = SqlDataSource1.Secect then ... my code. (i dont know if this a correct way to do this)

<asp:SqlDataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"runat="server"ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:imacstestConnectionString %>"

SelectCommand="SELECT FROM [t_CustomerAcct]"

thanks,

Hi,

I'm not quite clear what you want. Do you mean querying with some conditions for a return from the data table and verify if it's equal with the value from the text box or just want to make a query according the value from the text box?

If it's the first scenario, see the following sample:

 <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" DataSourceMode="DataSet" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:TestConnectionString2%>" ></asp:SqlDataSource>  
SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand ="select CategoryName from Categories where CategoryID='1'";DataView dw = (DataView)SqlDataSource1.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty);string str = dw.Table.Rows[0][0].ToString();if (str ==this.TextBox1.Text) {// equal}else {// not equal}
 

If it's the second scenario, just make select statement according the value from textbox directly.

this.SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand ="select CategoryName from Categories where CategoryID=@.id";this.SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters.Add("id",this.TextBox1.Text); DataView dw = (DataView)SqlDataSource1.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty);string str = dw.Table.Rows[0][0].ToString();

Thanks.
