Bind data in a repeater to an editable textbox 2

[belle9]

Here's my repeater:

   <asp:repeater id=rptDiet runat="server">
					<ItemTemplate>
						<asp:Textbox ID="txtDiet" Runat="server" Visible="True">
							<%#Container.Dataitem("Data")%>
						</asp:TextBox>
					
					</ItemTemplate>
				</asp:repeater>

I'm getting an error with the textbox, saying:
"System.Web.HttpException: 'TextBox' cannot have children of type 'DataBoundLiteralControl'."

I'd like to pull the data from the table and display it in the textbox, allowing the user to update it. The data is multiple rows returned.

i believe you'll have to use a datalist for this...repeaters are not updateable as far as i know...

Hmmm, get the same error for a datalist:
"System.Web.HttpException: 'TextBox' cannot have children of type 'DataBoundLiteralControl'"

<asp:datalist id="dlDiet" runat="server">
														<ItemTemplate>
															<asp:TextBox ID="txtDiet2" Runat="server" Visible="True" >
																<%#Container.Dataitem("Data")%>
															</asp:TextBox>
														</ItemTemplate>
													</asp:datalist>

<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtDiet" Runat="server" Text='<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Data")%>' >
</asp:TextBox><br />
</ItemTemplate>

I think you have to set the Text property = to the data...

<asp:datalist id="dlDiet" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtDiet2" Runat="server" Visible="True" Text='<%#Container.Dataitem("Data")%>' >                                             </asp:TextBox>                                         </ItemTemplate>                                             </asp:datalist>

Excellent, thanks both of you!
