<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:myconn %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT .... FROM mytable"
UpdateCommand="UPDATE ...." >
<UpdateParameters>
<asparameter Name="id" Type="Int32" />
....
</UpdateParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>

<aspetailsView ID="DetailsView1" runat="server" ... >

<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" TextMode="MultiLine" runat="server" Text='<%#
