Passing value from single C# dropdown selection to a query string

I have a DropDownList and a ListBox that are functioning fine. I need to be able to insert the selected value from the DropDownList into the database when the user moves a selection from the Products table to the ProductsMail table in the ListBox. I have attempted to modify the SQL string multiple times with no success like "+EmailDDN.SelectedItem+" and "+EmailDDN.SelectedValue+", etc. I can get the selected value to display in the EmailLabel1 Label but not in the query. Please provide a solution. I appreciate your time. _ JT

Hi suryakiran,

In the "DestinationDataSource":

UpdateCommand="UPDATE ProductsMail SET Name = @Name, Email = @Email, EmailID = @EmailID WHERE ID = @ID". 

I have attempted modifications such as:

"UPDATE ProductsMail SET Name = @Name, Email = ' + @Email + ', EmailID = @EmailID WHERE ID = @ID" and "UPDATE ProductsMail SET Name = @Name, Email = ' +EmailDDN.SelectedItem+ ', EmailID = @EmailID WHERE ID = @ID"

and others with no success.

In the same way that you have used an <asp:ControlParameter> in the <SelectParameters> section you can pass your email value in by doing this in the <UpdateParameters> section.

  <InsertParameters>
    <asp:Parameter Name="Name" Type="String" />
    <asp:ControlParameter Name="Email" PropertyName="SelectedValue" ControlID="EmailDDN" />
    <asp:Parameter Name="EmailID" Type="Int32" />
    <asp:Parameter Name="ID" Type="Int32" />
  </InsertParameters>
