Question

I want to bind a textbox to a data source so that I can implement IDataErrorInfo.

How would I achieve the functionality that essentially does what

TextBoxClientRenewalDate.DataSource = contract.RenewalDate;

would do, if it existed.

I’m not really sure what you’re looking for, but usually you would just assign the value to the Text property, like this:

TextBox1.Text = MyDataTable.Rows[0].Field<string>("SomeColumn");

I suppose you could use the DataBinder object too:

//not positive here, but it should be close
TextBox1.Text = (string)DataBinder.Eval(MyDataTable, "SomeColumn");
