bind textbox for display & editing

[rbutch]

hey guys got a question.
im trying to bind a textbox "at runtime". im creating the conn string, dataset, dataAdapter etc dynamically.
and it keeps erroring out.

<asp:TextBox ID="txtDay1" Runat="server"
TextMode='<%# A39.DataRow["Day1"]%>'></asp:TextBox>

now i have no problem doing this if i hard code my connection string, dataadapter, dataset etc and use the method (databinder eval).

<asp:TextBox ID="txtDay1" Runat="server"
Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Ds, "Tables[A39].DefaultView.[0].Day1") %>'></asp:TextBox>

i guess im looking for the best method to display up to 26 columns and nearly all of them be editable (Updated) and was trying to not do this using a DataGrid or DataList and build Templates for each individual cell.

Any Ideas or am I trying to find the easy Way out. This was so easy to do in WinForms.
thanks
rik
