'System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox' does not contain a definition for 'Substring'

[Anako]

Hello,

I am a learner web developer with Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 using C#. Actually I am trying to extract a part of a string by using the Substring function but it seems not to work for me and compiler returned the following error:

'System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox' does not contain a definition for 'Substring'

I need any help to solve this issue please.

You must be applying substring on textbox control,

use Text property to get the text entered in textbox.

for e.g.

TextBox1.Text.SubString(0,5);
