i want to creat html textbox control using sql query.
u might get surprised n think it is not possible, but i have already used it in my last job but rite now i forgot the sql syntax, it is possible.
requirement was as follow
there was one grid in that one column containing textbox so that one can enter multiple values at a time an update it.
and this was done using sql query means i had written a sql query which was generate one colnm with textbox. mind it there wasn't any templated field.
i know it can be done through templatd control but i want that sql syntax.
roughly i can give idea og sql syntax. "select ''"

You can inject any text you like into your page, and it will render as HTML. If you want to store HTML in your database, you can. I can't imagine what purpose it serves, but it's not surprising that it works. HTML is text. Your DB stores text.

i want somthing like shown below

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If Not IsPostBack Then
Dim con As New SqlConnection("MyConnectionString")
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("select '', * from Table1 ", con)
con.Open()
GridView1.DataSource = cmd.ExecuteReader
GridView1.DataBind()
con.Close()
End If
End Sub
this code giving error msg "Incorrect syntax near ' />'."
so result should display grid containing one colmn with textbox.

This is a pretty retarded way of trying to inject HTML into your grid. You can't actually hope to interact with it in any way, so what's the point ?

The problem is that you have your quotes messed up. I think '' does a quote in an SQL string. As it stands, it can't work out what quotes denote the edges of the constant string, and which are part of it

Really, why not just use the built in item template to get proper runtime use out of your textboxes? all you're doing here is making this harder for other people to maintain by trying to be 'clever'.

You said in your post that you were aware that it could be done through a templated column. This would be the other way of doing it...

Use a regex to strip the tags

Thanks for the reply sir, can u help me with the code???

Thanks again...

It's a pretty common regex, I'm sure if you download Expresso, it will be in there, or you can find it with google.

<(?<tag>\w*)>(?<text>.*)>

is the tag in expresso. It seems to assume only one tag is being removed, tho. off the top of my head should find any tag.

Thanks for the reply sir, my requirement is something like this:

I am using Gios Pdf for converting the data in pdf. First I am getting the data from database where one of the field has html tags and storing that data in datatable.

Now I need to show this html tag in text in that PDF but I am not getting how to do this.

If this doesnot work then I will have to just remove all the html tags from that field and just show in PDF.

I hope u got my problem. Can u suggest me whether this will work or not...

Thanks again...

You want the PDF to look like the HTML file ? I think there's projects on sourceforge and commercially that do that
