I have a form where a user can enter and submit data. I want it to keep the data that is submitted by the user on the form to where the user can click on the link to the form and still see their data. The question I have is that I am using auto populate for this method. Is that a good thing or should I use something else?

What do you mean by Auto Populate? From where you are populating?

I am auto populating from the table the data has been saved to after it has been submitted.

Yes, that is the approach. You are doing right. :)

Ok. Just wanted to make sure. Thanks. Can you check out my other question? My User Name Is Not Recognized by The System is not firing. Why? Thanks.

When I try to populate the form with the data that the user just submitted I get an error. Why won't it populate?

What is that error?

I fixed the error kind of. I just put some data into the database that I was populating from and the error went way. A user gave me this code but don't know where to put it. int result=0;
if(int.TryParse(textBoxid.Text,out result))

Okay. That means some data were missing.
And the code you have posted is for parsing the TextBox Text into integer.

I haven't used the code yet. I just don't know where to put it. Before I got this code I was already getting the error because of no data in the database. How can i populate the textboxes form the current database that the data was just submitted?

You should fetch them with ADO.NET and populate them on TextBoxes.
Try searching on Google, you will find many articles.

Ok. So, what about the code that was given to me? "int result=0; if(int.TryParse(textBoxid.Text,out result))" What does it do?

Tadit Dash (ତଡିତ୍ କୁମାର ଦାଶ) 3-Dec-13 8:52am

It converts the TextBox text to integer and stores in result variable.

Refer- C# int.TryParse[^]

Ok. Will it also allow the data to be populated into the textboxes thatI needed?

Solution 1

Populating the data from the saved Database Table is the approach you should use.
