VS 2005 sqldatasource set parameter value to value of another parameter
Posted on 2013-12-09
I'm using a VS2005 webform with a detailsview which only allows inserting a new record. The form is used to log visitor requests. Visitors may visit for only one day or multiple days.
In the instance of multiple days, the requestor enters the arrival and the end dates of the visit (visitDate and visitEndDate are the field names.)
If the visit is only one day, I would like to update the visit date to automatically be the same as the arrival date.
I'm sure there's a way to do it, I just haven't figured it out yet.
I tried this but it doesn't work. I don't get an error, it just doesn't work:

If e.Command.Parameters("@visitEndDate") Is Nothing Then
e.Command.Parameters("@visitEndDate").Value = e.Command.Parameters("@visitDate").Value
End If

You don't need the @, try :
If e.Command.Parameters("visitEndDate") Is Nothing Then
e.Command.Parameters("visitEndDate").Value = e.Command.Parameters("visitDate").Value
End If
I tried it without the "@" and it errors out with this message "A SqlParameter with ParameterName 'visitEndDate' is not contained by the SqlParameter Collection"
The ParameterName is "@visitEndDate" so wouldn't I need the "@?"
The ParameterName is "@visitEndDate" so wouldn't I need the "@?"
What method are you trying to update the parameter in?
Can you post the aspx markup code for the sqldatasource

<asp:Parameter Name="arrivalTime" />
<asp:Parameter Name="requestor" />
<asp:Parameter Name="visitEndDate" />
</InsertParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
How are you binding your form field values to the parameters, are you also doing this manually in the sqldatasource_inserting method or declaratively in the form.
Have you tried looking at the value of e.Command.Parameters("@vis
So you would need to do something like :
