如何从C＃中的数据库获取html输入占位符值？

Question

I have a HTML input text and place holder. I want to get a place holder value from a database but I want to do it programatically:

<td><input runat="server" placeholder="Title" type="text" /></td>

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

First, you need to give the input a name so that you can reference it in code behind. Then, once you go grab the value that you want from the database you will do something like this:

inputName.Placeholder = DataRow[0]("TextFromDBColumnName").ToString();

Obviously you want to put all safeguards in place to make sure that the DataTable or DataReader you are using has data and that the value that came back from the database is not NULL, which I would safeguard against in the query or stored procedure.

Answer 2

As ammills01 said you've got to give the input an ID attribute so you can call it from code-behind:

<td><input ID="YourID" runat="server" placeholder="Title" type="text" /></td>

And then call it:

YourID.Placeholder = DataRow[0]("TextFromDBColumnName").ToString();
