Solution 2

Hi

C#

// if max chars then
TextBox1.MaxLength = 50;
// if size then
TextBox1.Width = 100;
TextBox1.Height = 10;

Assuming you are not asking about how to access the value from database.

Solution 1

You probably shouldn't really try to do that. Some database fields can be quite large, and setting your textboxes to allow for the maximum length of a given field could completely disrupt your page layout.
