You cannot, with a webform the data is not processed at the same place as where the data is entered. 

You can save the data in a session and then bind,but it is not completely the same as databinding for a desktop. 

However, this is more a question for the Microsoft asp.net forums.

Hi kingelk,

Thank you for posting here.

You cannot just bind textbox, there is no DataSourceID property on textbox. My suggestion is that you could create a DataList using the DataSource and on ItemTemplate.

For more information about SqlDataSource you could refer that: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fkzs2t3h.aspx

If you have more about asp.net issue, I suggest that you could post it to asp.net forum for better support.

Best Regards,
