Binding a textbox to current date

[arun]

Hi

How can I bind a textbox to current date in asp.net 2.0.

I want to achieve the same result that I will get when i am using
TextBox1.Text = System.DateTime.Now.ToString();
by binding in the aspx file(in the mark up for text box)

Works for me - what error(s) are you getting...?

Thanks for replying.

I want to achieve the result by modifying the mark up like
<asp:TextBox ID="BookingDate" runat="server" Text='<% # Binding
Expression %>'></asp:TextBox>

I dont know how to achieve this and what should be the " Binding
Expression"

<asp:TextBox runat="server" Text="<%# System.DateTime.Now.ToString() %>" />

Don't forget to call DataBind method for either the page or the textbox.

Is there any particular reason you want to do it this way...? Seems like
you're just making work for yourself...

Hey Arun,

Try DateTime.Now. It is a valid binding expression
