boundfield max chars?

[Guest]

I a details view on a aspx page connected to a database that allows editing.
When someone types more than the 20 chars allotted in the database, and
submits the form, the page crashes. Is there a way in the details view to
only allow x number of characters to be enter?

replace ur boundField with a TemplateField and put a textbox in there, on
which u can set max chars...
