   For some reason Visual Studio prefers to censor your data. You will   
   have to ask the VS people about why. Just remember: what you see in a   
   GUI is just a visuall representation.

   With the .AddParameters method on the SqlCommand object. Exactly   
   how you do that in ASP .Net I don't know, since I don't know ASP .Net.   
   You will need to ask in a ASP .Net forum.

   In the long run you cannot write applications only by pointing and   
   clicking in GUIs. That will only take you so far.
