Getting a single value from SqlDataSource

Hi,

I have a SqlDataSource(named SQLDS1) which retrieves 4 value from database(ProductName,ProductCost,ProductID). I Have a DropDownList(DDL1) control and its DataSource SQLDS1.

DDL1 Selected data field todisplay is ProductName
DDL1 Selected data field tovalue is ProductCost

I did all this in Visual Part without any line of code. But in the code behind , When i select an item from DDL1 i need its ProductName,ProductCost and Also ProductID. It is simple to get first two. But how can i get the ProductID. Is there anyway to get ProductID from SQLDS1.

Happy Coding

Hi

You will be able to obtain only the values that you bind to the drop down list. if you want non bound value then you will have to fire another query based on what you select from the drop down.

For example,

select productid from Table_name where product name = 'prodname you selected from ddl' and productcost= cost you got from ddl.

Then use productid as you need
