Thank You Ritz

Answer 1

Create a user control instead that contains the text boxes. Then on your master page, include the user control. That way in your controller you're still able to pass values to it through ViewData.

Answer 2

Assuming ASP.NET MVC:

In your controller you can do the following:

public ActionResult Index() {
  ViewData["YourText"] = "Hello!";
  return View();
}

Your page:

<%= Html.TextBox("NameOfTextBox", ViewData["YourText"]);
