literal Databinding???

[Guest]

Can someone explain how I create a databinding to a Literal control! I tried doing it as shown below but the reader won't read into the control.

Thanks


...::CODE::..
Dim Myconn As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("strConn"))
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("PageDetails", Myconn)
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure

Myconn.Open()

Dim objOfficeName, objID As SqlParameter
objOfficeName = cmd.Parameters.Add("@OfficeName", SqlDbType.Char)


objOfficeName.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input


objOfficeName.Value = "ISC"


Dim myReader As SqlDataReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
importTxt = myReader
importTxt.DataBind()

myReader.Close()

Myconn.Close()

Hi,

it's not databindable that way straight. Instead, you'd set its Text
property to the text you wish Literal to display.

What are you trying to do with this line?

If objImpCnt Is "" Then
