These are both extremely basic questions.
To clear a textbox you simply do something like this:
csharp Code:
textBox1.Text = String.Empty;
As far as "creating a dynamic paragraph tag" I would either use a Label or a Literal:
csharp Code:
literal1.Text = "<p>" + datareader["columnname"] + "</p>";
//or
label1.Text = "<p>" + datareader["columnname"] + "</p>";
Where datareader is a DataReader object that contains the information you want to display to the user. You could, of course, use any object in place of the datareader such as a DataTable or DataSet.
In the future try using google for your answer. A simple google query for: ASP.NET - Displaying Data from a database returns copuious amounts or results:
