how to execute the DeleteCommand in code-behind?

[phil]

Hi,

The connection and DeleteCommand of a gridview are defined in the aspx file
like this:
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"
ConnectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 ;Data Source=c:\mydb.mdb"
ProviderName="System.Data.OleDb"
DeleteCommand="delete from mytable where [nr] = @nr" >
</asp:SqlDataSource>

Now i created a button (button1) for deleting all records at once. So i
defined a new DeleteCommand in the code-behind. My problem is how to execute
that new command.
Look what i tried in the code-behind file:
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
SqlDataSource1.DeleteCommand = "delete from mytable"
SqlDataSource1.DeleteCommandType = SqlDataSourceCommandType.Text
End Sub

I can't find an 'execute' or similar ...
Thanks fro helping
Phil
