I often need to grab the id of the record I just inserted into a database as an output parameter. This is relatively straightforward using a SqlDataConnection but I never knew how to do it using a SqlDataSource. The following code example demonstrates how to use the SqlDataSourceStatusEventArgs class to examine the return value and values of output parameters that are returned when using a SqlDataSource control with a stored procedure to populate a GridView control. The stored procedure selects data that is displayed in the GridView, but also passes other information back to the caller, such as an integer output parameter and a return value. The parameters that the SqlDataSource uses for the stored procedure are contained by the SelectParameters collection, and consist of parameters that pass information from the Web form to the stored procedure as well as parameters that pass information back to the form. The Direction property of these parameters is set to Output and ReturnValue.
