Question

I have an AccessDataSource TestSummaryADS. I can easily view the results in a GridView or DropDownList by setting its DataSourceID property.

How do I bind a value from the results TestSummaryADS to the text of a label?

I’m just trying to populate labels on my page with results from the DB entry.

C# or VB.NET answers okay.

If you only have a single record, use a FormView

<asp:FormView ID="FormViewTestSummary" runat="server" 
DataSourceID="TestSummaryADS"
DefaultMode="Edit">
    <EditItemTemplate>
        <fieldset>           
            <asp:TextBox ID="txtMyText" Text='<%# Bind("ProjectNumber") %>' runat="server" />
