binding textbox to datasource in ASP.NET

The problem is that, in VS2003 using web forms, the text control had a
property - "Databinding" that simplified connecting the control to a
datasource. It could be done visually during design and was very simple
to modify.

In VS2005, I want to do the same thing: I want to add a textbox to a
form and then bind it to a datasource, and I want to do it visually,
without having to go to the HTML source and add something like,
text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(HelpDeskDV, "[0].ContactName", "{0}") %>'.

So the question is: how do I assign a datasource to an existing textbox
on a web form?

Hi,
In my view
one thing u can do
In which event u want to assign value to textbox
i.e., Pageload,Button click
take sqldatareader
Execute the reader
and

while(sqlDr.Read())
{
TextBox1.Text=sqlDr.GetValue(0).ToString();
}
It works
GetValue(0/1/2/3/....)
