Retrieving form data by name

[andrewbb]

This will likely be the dumbest question of the day, but:

Me.Request.Form.Item(3) 'works
Me.Request.Form.Item("txtName") 'doesn't work

Intellisense shows the full name of the key is:
ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$txtName

Why is the key not: txtName ?

Master:
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder
ID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</div>
</form>

Page:
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1"
runat="server">
<table style="width: 500px; height: 200px">
<tr>
<td style="width: auto;">
Email address:</td>
<td style="width: 192px;">
<asp:TextBox ID="txtEmail" runat="server"
MaxLength="50" Width="264px"></asp:TextBox></td>

You could read your value as
txtName.Text
or
Me.Request.Form.Item(txtName.ClientID)

Thanks!

Or just use

txtName.Text

if viewstate is enabled.

Howdy Aidy,

Why if viewstate is enabled? It works even if ViewState is disabled, because
it's equivalent to Request.Form[txt.UniqueID]. TextBox uses viewstate only to
raise OnTextChanged event.

I have to admit as I was typing I doubted that you needed the viewstate
enabled. As you said, it is needed for comparisons for raising events and
seld-populating but no much else
