Gets or sets the SQL string that the System.Web.UI.WebControls.SqlDataSource control uses to delete data from the underlying database.
Syntax
public string DeleteCommand { set; get; }
Value
Documentation for this section has not yet been entered.
Remarks
The SqlDataSource.DeleteCommand represents an SQL query or the name of a stored procedure, and is used by the SqlDataSource.Delete method.
Because different database products use different varieties of SQL, the syntax of the SQL string depends on the current ADO.NET provider being used, which is identified by the SqlDataSource.ProviderName property. If the SQL string is a parameterized query or command, the syntax of the parameter also depends on the ADO.NET provider being used. For example, if the provider is the System.Data.SqlClient, which is the default provider for the System.Web.UI.WebControls.SqlDataSource class, the syntax of the parameter is '@parameterName'. However, if the provider is set to the System.Data.Odbc or System.Data.OleDb, the placeholder of the parameter is '?'. For more information about parameterized SQL queries and commands, see Using Parameters with the SqlDataSource Control.
The SqlDataSource.DeleteCommand property can be an SQL string or the name of a stored procedure, if the database supports stored procedures.
The SqlDataSource.DeleteCommand property delegates to the SqlDataSourceView.DeleteCommand property of the System.Web.UI.WebControls.SqlDataSourceView object that is associated with the System.Web.UI.WebControls.SqlDataSource control.
For security purposes, the SqlDataSource.DeleteCommand property is not stored in view state. Because it is possible to decode the contents of view state on the client, storing sensitive information about the database structure in view state could result in an information disclosure vulnerability.
