how to bind a textbox that isnt in a datalist?

[PT Exorcist]

how do i bind it? i dont find a .DataSource property like the datalist has!

You don't actually need to bind it, cause it has almost no sense, cause off the static manner of webdesign.

So you can just do this txtbox.text = ds.tables(0).cells(0)(0)

if i am using across all the project heavy use of databinding i'd like to databind the text box even if its for a reason of consistency..anyways if i have to do it thru code np..

Indeed,


I know what I mean... In vb.net projects, this isn't a problem.
The biggest advantage of asp.net is that you don't need to distribute applications anymore. But it still has much disadvantages !

But I'm really glad with the server controls, this opens a whole new world.... let's hope that the next generation of asp.net will be even more improved !

Or you can create your own textbox control that is inherited from the textbox control. Then just add the databinding code to it so you can then use your new control when you need to.

not worth the work..

That was what I was thinking, but it is an option.

If you want to databind a lot, then it may be worth it because you could reuse it everytime.
