Binding a control with ASP

[pruebens]

Okay first to Derek and Robby.....you guys are just ADO .NET genius's

 

Anyway, I'm trying to get away from using the data adapters because they are turning out to be just one big headache.

 

Now I have my webform all set and is complete with the correct SQL and connection statements.

 

MY next question is what is the syntax to connect the text of say a label control to a specific column in a database?

 

I tried doing it as I would in a regular windows form but I don't get the "Add" option (label.databindings.add("Text", <dataset>,"<Table.Column>")) like I do so I'm obviously not doing it right.

I think you meant to say Derek and Divil are geniuses, I help out with the easy stuff.

 

I'll test a few thing out regarding you question.

No you've helped me as well.......and I believe in giving props to those that deserve it.

 

I appreciate your help.

Data binding definately should not be used in web pages. Reasons of security and lack of validation are just two of many. Try going at it using a DataAdapter, and if you need help doing so we're only a few clicks away.

Thanks Derek........I did have it originally bound using the built in data adapter. If that is what you mean then I'll just put those back on. My only problem then is getting the database to update (yes I'm still struggling with that).

 

 

Thanks again.
