Linking SqlDataSource to label for a single item in ASP.NET - asp.net

Question

I have a asp:SqlDataSource that returns a single row. How do I return that value into a label. I got it working in a asp:DataList but its overkill since its a single record.
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT STATEMENT">
</asp:SqlDataSource>
<asp:DataList ID="DataList5" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("ID") %>'></asp:Label><br />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>

Answer 1

Here is one way to do it in C#:
DataView oDV = (System.Data.DataView)SqlDataSource2.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty);
Label1.Text = string.Join("|", oDV.Table.Rows[0].ItemArray.Select(p => p.ToString()).ToArray());

Answer 2

I guess my project is using an actual method instead of a property like I first suggested.
You could use a text SqlCommand(String, SqlConnection), passing the select statement and a SqlConnection(String) to your database.
public string GetSelectStatement()
{
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConnectionString);
string selectStatement = "SELECT TOP 1 ID FROM Customer";
SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand(selectStatement, conn);
comm.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.Text;
SqlDataReader reader = comm.ExecuteReader();
// My code has a while, but you shouldn't need it with only one record
reader.Read();
string ID = (string)reader["ID"];
return ID;
}
Then in your page (aspx) or control (ascx) you can use that method to bind the label text
<asp:Label ID="label1" runat="server" Text='<%# GetSelectStatement() #>'></asp:Label>
