I have a asp.net page containing 20 textboxes, the data that should be populated to these textboxes are availabe in Sql database

How would you display the data from the DB to the textboxes?

I can setup the connection and open it and retrieve all the data from a specific row using SELECT * FROM RegDB where ([Id] = something)

Any simple way if displaying the data in the textboxes?

I know below my code will work.. but i need simple way to get the data from sql and assign to textbox

C#

using (SqlConnection con1 = new SqlConnection("Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Initial Catalog=tempDB;Integrated Security=True"))
        {
            DataTable dt = new DataTable();
            con1.Open();
            SqlDataReader myReader = null;
            SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM RegDB where ([Id] = something)'", con1);

            myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader();

            while (myReader.Read())
            {
                TextBox1.Text = myReader[0].ToString();
                TextBox2.Text = myReader[1].ToString();
                TextBox3.Text = myReader[2].ToString();
                TextBox4.Text = myReader[3].ToString();
                TextBox5.Text = myReader[4].ToString();
            }
            con1.Close();
        }

Try like this.
if this is your exact need, then this will help you.

C#

SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(myCommand);
                da.Fill(dt);
                if (dt.Rows.Count == 1)
                {
                    DataRow row = dt.Rows[0];
                    for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
                    {
                        string value = row[i] + "";
                        (Page.FindControl("TextBox" + i) as TextBox).Text = value; ;
                    }
                }
