1. Don't use FormParameter. You can use just Parameter or ControlParameter and set Textbox to be the ControlParameter name .

2. You need to add to your SQLDataSource definition OnSelecting = "SqlDataSource1_Selecting" if you want to set your parameter in the code behind. Right now your SQLDataSource doesn't have the event bind.

3. I think you need to add @ in front of the parameter's name in the Selecting event, e.g.
e.Command.Parameters("@Resource").Value = TextBox1.Text

BTW, are you using VS or typing your pages manually? Why do you have code behind inside the ASPX?
