bind the asp:SqlDataSource to a label control

how can i display the result of an asp:SqlDataSource into a lable control.
the sqldatasource returns the count for some thing ie "select count(*) as total from tbl"

please help

There are two general approaches you can use:
1. Use a data bound control, such as a FormView or DetailsView. Bind the data bound control to the SqlDataSource, and then place the Label inside that control and databind it as you would any other control in a template.
2. Manually call SqlDataSource's Select() method and extract the result value:
DataSet result = (DataSet)SqlDataSource.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty);
Label1.Text = result.Tables[0].Rows[0][0].ToString();
