Convert SqlDataSource to String.

I'm working with an SqlDataSource, and I'm just wondering how to get the data to a String if I'm sure the select statement will only return 1 piece of data. Any ideas?

useExecuteScalar() method of your sql command. it will return the first column of the first row in the result set return by your select query.

Hi,

You can try to use sqldatasource.select with DataView. Try the codes below, i think it should be able to solve your problems

SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand="Your Select Command Here";DataView dv = SqlDataSource1.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty);string mystr = dv.Table.Rows[0][your colum number].ToString();

Now the string "mystr" should be what you are looking after

Hope my suggestion helps
