Server Side Controls in ASP.NET

[Kerri]

Hi,

I have an aspx page with some server side textboxes.

I have a button onmy page which allows users to add data
to a database.

In my onclick event for my button when I try and get teh
value from the textbox using..

Dim myString as String = textbox1.text

...it is blank.

When I do a..

Dim myString = Request.Form("textbox1")

...I get the value the user enetered.

I have declared my textbox as a control in my codebehind.

And it is an asp.net textbox.

Any ideas why this is?

This is baffling me.

Kerri.

Have you added the "runat=server" attribute to the template HTML for the
text box?
