My suggestion:

<asp:ControlParameter ControlID="txtResource" Name="Resource" PropertyName="Text"  Type="String" />

Rename your Text1 into txtResource - it is always a good idea to give some meaningful names.

>>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.

If you're using ControlParameter, you would not even need to use OnSelecting. For now remove OnSelecting and re-try.
