Displaying Database results (HELP A NEWBE)

Hey All,

This is really simple basic question, and it's just so I can start to learn about MVS.

I have a sql-database called "Test" with a Table called "Agents" with just three colulms "ID", "FNAME" and "LNAME".

On the Default Page I have three Textboxes and a submit Button,

All I want to do is type "Select" criteria in Textbox1 and have Textbox2 Display the "Fname" and Textbox3 Display the "Lname".

(Using VB in ASPX)

Dim

iAsNew SqlDataSource()

i.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings(

"Test").ToString()

i.SelectCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text

i.SelectCommand = ((((((Now What?)))))))

EndSub

PLease Help, Thanks in advance

A...

"SELECT FName, LNameFROM AgentsWHERE ID = " + TextBox1.Text.Trim()

Above I am assuming that user are trying to search through the ID. Maybe you also should make the other textboxes as label, because user's are not allowed to type anything there. Just a thought.

Anyway, hope this helps. Good luck.

|||Alway use Parameterized Queries unless you don't care SQL injection. This article should help:
Using Parameters with the SqlDataSource Control
