Remarks

Use the CommandArgument property to specify a parameter that compliments the CommandName property.

Note

Although you can set the CommandArgument property by itself, it is normally only used when the CommandName property is also set.

The CommandArgument property complements the CommandName property by allowing you to provide additional information about the command to perform. For example, if you set the CommandName property to Sort and the CommandArgument property to Ascending, you specify a command to sort in ascending order.

This property cannot be set by themes or style sheet themes. For more information, see ThemeableAttribute and ASP.NET Themes and Skins.
