Populating form fields from a dataset

I know that this is probably a simple question, but I can't seem to find out
how to populate the form fields I have with the results from my stored
procedure, which I have stored in a datase. I have seen examples of to use
dataset, datagrids, but how can I populate textboxes and label's with the
results of my stored procedure?

Hi Stephen,

You can use the data from the dataset to bind to a textbox or other control
but you use it somewhat differently. You have to decide which value you want
to use from the dataset, assuming there's more than one.

Here's some sample code that might get you started. Let us know if it helps?

<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<p>
<asp:textbox id="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:textbox></p>
<p>
<asp:button id="Button1" runat="server"
Text="Button"></asp:button></p>
<p>
<asp:label id="Label1" runat="server"></asp:label></p>
</form>

Private Sub Page_Load _
(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
' From Ken Cox Microsoft MVP [ASP.NET]
If Not IsPostBack Then
' Create a dataset
Dim ds As New DataSet
' Add a table to the dataset
ds.Tables.Add(CreateDataSource())
' Create a filter so that we only get one row
ds.Tables(0).DefaultView.RowFilter = "IntegerValue = 5"
' Pass the dataset and an expression to DataBinder.Eval
' so that it returns the string called StringValue in
' the default dataview
TextBox1.Text = DataBinder.Eval(ds, _
"Tables(0).DefaultView(0).StringValue")
' Bind everything on the page
Page.DataBind()
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click _
(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles Button1.Click
Label1.Text = TextBox1.Text
End Sub

Function CreateDataSource() As DataTable
Dim dt As New DataTable
Dim dr As DataRow
dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn _
("IntegerValue", GetType(Int32)))
dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn _
("StringValue", GetType(String)))
dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn _
("CurrencyValue", GetType(Double)))
dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn _
("Boolean", GetType(Boolean)))
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To 5
dr = dt.NewRow()
dr(0) = i
dr(1) = "Item " + i.ToString()
dr(2) = 1.23 * (i + 1)
dr(3) = (i = 4)
dt.Rows.Add(dr)
Next i
Return dt
End Function
