If you've got a data source set up for the project you can do this in the designer:In the properties window for the control:

Expand (DataBindings) ;select (Advanced) and open the dialog.
Choose the property you want to bind (eg for a TextBox 'Text') then in the 'Binding' dropdown just select the Table/Field that you want.

Duh - just saw this was a web app so the above won't apply :-{
In ASP.NET you can do it in markup : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bda9bbfx(vs.71).aspx
