FieldValue Tag

Purpose

The GEN:FieldValue tag places the value of a database field on the generated page.  Use the tag’s Properties dialog to specify the actual field whose value is to be displayed.

Use the FieldValue tag to display field values from a database record.  FieldValue controls can display data as well as input data.

Generates

The FieldValue code generation tag generates Presentation Layer control tags in the ASPX or ASCX file.  The Presentation Layer control tags may be different based on the different types of field values displayed (e.g., text versus image).  The primary Presentation Layer control tag for FieldValue may be followed by some validator control tags (e.g., RequiredFieldValidator).
