asp.net 2.0 with Oracle delete command

[george]

Hi all -

I am trying to use ASP.NET 2.0 to delete a row in an Oracle database
table GC_LOG
(see following, note that my connection string is fine, everything else
like updateCommand is working)
The ID and ACTION are varchar2(10) and varchar2(200) respectively:

-------------------------
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource5" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$%ConnectionStrings:Connection String1 %>"
ProviderName="<%$
ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString1.ProviderName %>"

DeleteCommand=' DELETE GC_LOG
WHERE ID=:ID and ACTION=:ACTION ' >

<DeleteParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="ID" />
<asp:Parameter Name="ACTION" />
</DeleteParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
----------------------------

However, I got following error:
System.Data.OracleClient.OracleException: ORA-01008: not all
variables bound

Stack Trace:

[OracleException (0x80131938): ORA-01008: not all variables bound

---------------

I then changed the deleteparameters part to
<DeleteParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="@ID" />
<asp:Parameter Name="@ACTION" />
</DeleteParameters>

it said "illegal variable name/number"

then, <DeleteParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name=":ID" />
<asp:Parameter Name=":ACTION" />
</DeleteParameters>

there is no error, but the deleting wasn't carried out -- the data is
still there (although I tested the delete statement manually , it is
working from sqlPlus commnd line).
I also tried to add Type="String" and Type="Empty" in parameter
section, no luck either...

do I miss anything? please help and advise... thanks!
