Populating a text field and then getting its value

[Imran Aziz]

Hello All,
I am populating a text field dynamic in my code, and its a read-only
textbox control. It populates it perfectly fine. but when I get its value
back in code I get an empty string any clues as to how to get this sorted
please ?

Here is how I set the value of the control.
txtTitle.Text = feed.Channels[0].Title;

and get it later

String strString = txtTitle.Text;

Any clues please ?

Imran.

Thats a strange one.
Working fine for me:

ASPX:

<asp:TextBox id="TextBox1" runat="server" ReadOnly="True"
OnClick="Button1_Click"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button id="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button"></asp:Button>

CS

void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if(!Page.IsPostBack)
TextBox1.Text = "Hello";
}

void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Response.Write("Value: " + TextBox1.Text);
}

OUTPUT

Value: Hello


Try making a simple page like that and testing it

If I change the textbox property Readonly to false then it works perfectly
fine. I am using the latest Beta 2 release of .net framework.

Hum strange I am doing something wrong then, I guess I will try and use
labels instead of text boxes.
Thanks a lot for coming back to me on that.
