Textbox.text inside detailsview returning empty

[dharric]

I am able to retrieve a textbox object when I use the findcontrol, but the text property is empty even though I've typed text inside of it before posting back. However if I use my listbox control, also inside my detailsview, to set the text property the text property does take the value from listbox. Both controls are inside the same templatefield and edititemtemplate. Any ideas?
