You can use the below way.

<asp:sqldatasource id="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" xmlns:asp="#unknown">
ConnectionString="Data Source=xxx;Initial Catalog=dbxx;Integrated Security=True"
SelectCommand="SELECT dName,dRegno,dGender,dSpeciality,dExperience,dLanguages FROM Doctor WHERE dName=@dName">
  <selectparameters>
    <asp:controlparameter controlid="txbxDoctorNameVal" name="dName" propertyname="Text" />
  </selectparameters>
</asp:sqldatasource>
