public int Add (System.Web.UI.WebControls.Parameter parameter);
member this.Add : System.Web.UI.WebControls.Parameter -> int
Public Function Add (parameter As Parameter) As Integer

parameter
Parameter

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use an AccessDataSource control and a FormParameter object to display information from a Microsoft Access database in a GridView control. The FormParameter object is added to the SelectParameters collection using the Add(Parameter) method.

Important

This example has a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview.

Parameters

name
String

The name of the parameter.

value
String

A string that serves as a default value for the parameter.

Returns

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how the Add(String, String) method can be used to add new Parameter objects to a ParameterCollection collection by supplying the name and value parameters. In this example, a Parameter object is added to an Update command of an Access data source control that is bound to the value of a TextBox control.

Important

This example has a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview.

  For Each row In GridView1.Rows

    cb = CType(row.Cells(0).Controls(1), CheckBox)
    If cb.Checked Then

      Dim oid As String
      oid = CType(row.Cells(1).Text, String)
