What is SQLdatasource parameter 'size'?

Hi,

I'm new to ASP.NET 2.0 and I am trying to get more information on the
size property within the parameter tag of the SQLdatasource control.

I have this code as an example...
<asp:Paramete r Type="String" Name="NewID" Direction="Outp ut" Size="4">

Does Size="4" represent 4 characters in length? In the case of an
IDENTITY integer being returned after an INSERT, does having size = "4"
mean that the integer can be up to 9999?

What does the number represent?!

Thanks in advance,

John.

For a string it's the size in characters. Your example corresponds to a
"char(4)" (or "varchar(4) ", "nchar(4)" or "nvarchar(4 )") in SqlServer.
I don't think the size is be needed for integers, but then it would be
the size in bytes, not the number of digits in the decimal
representation of the value.

I've chosen to implement the "optimistic concurrency" model in my application. To assist in that, I've added a ROWVERSION (TIMESTAMP) column to my main tables.

I want to do the same for my GridView/SqlDataSource combinations. I typically select from a view and update the corresponding...

Hi, I am trying to set a parameter in the SELECT statement of a SqlDataSource, in the Page_Load event where the intended value for the parameter is calculated. But how can I set the parameter to a certain value? If the value comes from a control, form, querystring etc. then it's easily done declaratively. But how to do it in code. Have tried for hours. I will be grateful for all help! --

All of a sudden my previously working code started throwing this error. from the SqlDatasource. I am using C# and Asp.net 2.0. Getting the following error: You have specified that your delete command compares all values on SqlDataSource 'sdsAddEdit', but the dictionary passed in for values is empty. Pass in a valid dictionary for delete or change your mode to OverwriteChanges.
