Retrieving changed TextBox values

[Jon J.]

Hi everyone,

When I change the original value at runtime in a TextBox control, and then
try to retrieve this new value from a Button.OnClick event, I instead get the
original TextBox.Text value.

Has anyone seen this before or know what might be happening?

Thanks,

Hi,

Check if the AutoPostBack property of the Textbox is false. If it is
true then make it false.

Thanks, but I did not change the default, which is false, so that is not it.

Are you loading the initial value when the page loads? If so, it could be
getting reset when the page posts back, because the on_click will not fire
until after the page load when the page is posted back. If this is the case,
make sure your intitial setting is of the textbox value is inside an If not
postback...end if construct.

Add this to page_load:
PasswordField.Attributes.Add("value", "secret")
