So if I have a textbox sitting on a webform and I want that particular textbox that is sitting on that webform to reflect information from a database field like Item Description, can you bind the textbox to the datasource on your form so that the textbox on that particular webform can reflect that data to the end user?
Or do you have to handcode that? Also can you have full CRUD operability with a datasource bound to a textbox on webform?

1) You could use a data control with a single text box in the ItemTemplate view

2) Look at the new 4.5 Model Binding capabilities; you would still need to use a data control though.

And again: lease post questions like these in the general ASP.NET 4,.5 category.

Cheers,

Imar
