how to add placeholder in textbox

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/833943/watermark-hint-text-placeholder-textbox 

Hello Zubair,

 

     While Satyaprakash suggested what would probably be the best solution, I have one that I used to do and still fall back to when I can't remember code correctly.  If you don't have too many textboxes that this needs to be done with you can select the textbox in visual studio, set a GotFocus event, create an if statement for the text you want to put in and then set another for LostFocus.  I know that this probably isn't the best method to use and might buy me a bad look or two but it has worked great for me in the past.

 LostFocus

 Just figured this may be useful to someone somewhere sometime.  Just make sure the text is the same in both the lost and got.  Hope this helps.
