How do i prepopulate textarea with data from database (or any text for that matter) in ASP.Net?-CodePudding

Ok, so basically i have an form which edits data in my database. I have the following inputs:

   <input value="@title" type="text" asp-for="@Model.ProjName"  placeholder="Ticket1" />
   <textarea  value="@description" type="text" asp-for="@Model.ProjDescription"  rows="3"></textarea>

I can pre-populate the input just fine, however value doesn't work on the textarea. What is the correct way of populating it?

CodePudding user response：

This will solve your problem. Text area acts differently from input tag . So instead of using value parameter, add your value between open and close tag of text area

 <textarea  type="text" asp-for="@Model.ProjDescription"  rows="3">@Model.description</textarea>

Here is a .net fiddle with an example https://dotnetfiddle.net/2TYEOk

Since you use asp-for="@Model.ProjDescription",so the default value will be @Model.ProjDescription,if you want to bind value with @description,you can try to use id and name to replace asp-for="@Model.ProjDescription".Here is the sample code:

<textarea type="text" id="ProjDescription" name="ProjDescription"  rows="3" >@description</textarea>
