Bind TextBox!

[Adam J Knight]

Hi all,

I am assuming there may be a number of ways to bind a text box to a db field
using c#.

My current approach is: txtPostCode.Text =
rdrInstitution["PostCode"].ToString();

Can anyone let me if there is a generally accepted method for databinding a
textbox using c#.

Cheers,
Adam

Unless your in a databound control (repeater/grid/list/view), that's
generally the way it's done.

Some of us have an actual business layer, so you'd never see a datareader in
your presentation layer, you'd do

txtPostCode.Text = userAddress.PostalCode;

but that's another disucssion..
