Displaying multiple entries on a database into an aspx page - asp.net

Question

I am trying to display multiple lines from a database into an aspx page. My aspx page name is news.aspx and my table is called news.
I have configured my aspx with the code to display what I want my page to look like. I have attached an image to show I would like it to look like when the page is loaded. The aspx page uses ItemTemplate & asp:Repeater to display the multiple lines.
My aspx page is configured as follows:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3">
<div class="col-lg-12">
<div class="form-group alert alert-info">
<asp:label runat="server" ID="lblNewsEdits">Latest Sports & Social News Items</asp:label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3">
<div class="col-lg-12">
<p>
Title:
<asp:Literal ID="litTitle" runat="server"></asp:Literal>
(<asp:Literal ID="litDatePosted" runat="server"></asp:Literal>)
</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3">
<div class="col-lg-12">
<p>
Title:
<asp:Literal ID="litNewsContent" runat="server"></asp:Literal>
</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
My aspx.cs page is configured to pull the information from the news table, I want three column of data to be display in the aspx page (Title, DatePosted and NewsContent).
For the three lines below, I am getting error: "The name "..." does not exist in the current context.
litTitle.text = reader ["Title"].ToString();
litDatePosted.Text = reader["Date Posted"].ToString();
litNewsContent.Text = reader["News Content"].ToString();
The aspx.cx page is configured as follows:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["AppConnectionString"].ConnectionString);
string getNewsQuery = "SELECT Id, Title, DataPosted, Newsontent FROM News WHERE Id = #id";
//get email based on id
SqlCommand getNewsCommand = new SqlCommand(getNewsQuery, connection);
object id = null;
getNewsCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("#id", id);
connection.Open();
SqlDataReader reader = getNewsCommand.ExecuteReader();
while (reader.Read())
{
litTitle.txt = reader ["Title"].ToString();
litDatePosted.Text = reader["Date Posted"].ToString();
litNewsContent.Text = reader["News Content"].ToString();
}
reader.Close();
connection.Close();
}
My database table is configured as follows:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[News] (
[Id] INT IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL,
[Title] NVARCHAR (100) NOT NULL,
[DatePosted] DATE NOT NULL,
[NewsContent] NTEXT NOT NULL,
[IsRead] BIT DEFAULT ((0)) NULL,
PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([Id] ASC)[![enter image description here][1]][1]
);
Any ideas?

Answer 1

Try to format your code like this:
litTitle.txt = reader["Title"].ToString();
litDatePosted.Text = reader["DatePosted"].ToString();
litNewsContent.Text = reader["NewsContent"].ToString();
Also in your sql query you have a typo in the SELECT statement, you typed
'Newsontent' instead of 'NewsContent'
EDIT:
Try using the grid view instead of table. GridView should format it selfe acording to the sorce provided by the SqlDataAdapter
protected void Pageaaa_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["AppConnectionString"].ConnectionString);
string getNewsQuery = "SELECT Id, Title, DataPosted, Newsontent FROM News WHERE Id = #id";
//get email based on id
SqlCommand getNewsCommand = new SqlCommand(getNewsQuery, connection);
object id = null;
getNewsCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("#id", id);
connection.Open();
SqlDataReader reader = getNewsCommand.ExecuteReader();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter();
DataTable dataTable = new DataTable();
da.Fill(dataTable);
GridView1.DataSource = dataTable;
GridView1.DataBind();
connection.Close();
da.Dispose();
}
