I have a textbox control in a webform that I am trying to get to prepopulate a date with.
In the Code behind I have a page load script to get the datetime:
Rec_Date.Text = System.DateTime.Now.ToSTring();
Month(Date) & "/" & Day(Date) & "/" & Year(Date) ;
The control looks like this:
<asp:TextBox ID="Rec_Date" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("post_date") %>'></asp:TextBox>
The error I am getting is:
The name 'Rec_Date' does not exist in the current context
Can someone tell me what this means and perhaps how to fix it?
Thanks alot!I was thinking that prehaps the reason that nobody has solved my question is because I needed to explain it better.
I am working with asp.net 2.0 using Microsoft's IDE Visual Studio 2005 in C#.
All I am trying to figure out is how to set a default value inside a databound textbox. Currently the textbox control already has a property for the text value as seen below:
<asp:TextBox ID="post_dateTextBox" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("post_date") %>'></asp:TextBox>
So my question is, how can I set a default value for this control if the text field is already being used for a databound statement?
All I want to do is put a date in the textbox. I need to put it inside the textbox as opposed to inserting the date via a sql stmt because users need to be able to modify the date.
Thank you for your help.
