Answer 1

Try this

<asp:SqlDataSource runat="server" ID="MySQLData2"
    ConnectionString='<%$ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>'
    ProviderName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient"
    SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM tablename  WHERE id=@SessionVar">
  <SelectParameters>
     <asp:SessionParameter Name="SessionVar" SessionField="SessionVariableName" ConvertEmptyStringToNull="true" />
  </SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>

Answer 2

This MSDN article should get you what you need. Basically you would define your SelectCommand with the parameter placeholder, "?", and then define your SelectParameters collection with an entry for your SessionParameter.

Answer 3

Using parameters is rather simple:

 <asp:SqlDataSource id="Employees" runat="server"
  ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:Northwind%>"
  SelectCommand="SELECT LastName FROM Employees WHERE Title = @Title">
  <SelectParameters>
    <asp:ControlParameter Name="Title" 
      ControlID="DropDownList1"
      PropertyName="SelectedValue"/>
  </SelectParameters>
</asp:sqldatasource>

Just replace the value of parameter with your variable:

 <%= Sessiom[variable_name] %>

Answer 4

        <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="Data Source=LAZY-PC;Initial Catalog=Test;Integrated Security=True"
        ProviderName="System.Data.SqlClient" SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [C] WHERE ([C#] = @column1)">
        <SelectParameters>
            <asp:SessionParameter Name="column1" SessionField="id" Type="String" />
        </SelectParameters>
    </asp:SqlDataSource>

Answer 5

Johnny_D's answer is pretty much spot on, but I'd like to point out that there's a SessionParameter class that you can use for this:

<asp:SqlDataSource runat="server" ID="MySQLData2"
    ConnectionString='<%$ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>'
    ProviderName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient"
    SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE id= ?" />
      <SelectParameters>
          <asp:SessionParameter
            Name="id"
            SessionField="SessionVariableName"
            DefaultValue="0" />
      </SelectParameters>
  </asp:SqlDataSource>
