I have a textbox that I want to connect to a database value that is being updated on a continuous basis. Is it possible to get the textbox text to update with the database data. I have a feed coming in but notifies on update which I use to update the relevent datapoint in the database. A number of these points in combination form the textbox and there are a large number of textbox combinations so being dynamic would be the only viable way to process. I am unsure if this is the best method to go about this and if anyone has any better ideas/solutions I would be greatly appreciative
 
Just FYI to make it more clear ..... I am pulling in data from a trading system TT for bid and ask on a number of futures, these are constantly updating and this is what I will be changing in the database and therefore need the textbox to reflect this change. Could hardcode if a bid/ask changes, go through each of the textboxes and update the relevent ones or just update them all, but would cause lag and am sure there must be a more efficient way and this is time sensitive and the bid/ask would be constantly updating on all of them, trying to avoid this method ...
