getting values from a textbox

[J]

Using codebehind, I populate some textboxes in the Page_Load method.
At this point the user can edit the data in the textboxes.
Then I want to click on a Save button and write the edited data in the
textboxes into a table. But referencing the textboxes only shows the
original value, not the newly edited values.

protected void btnSave_Click(o bject sender, EventArgs e)
{
// This contains original values not edited values
dsContact.Table s["Contact"].Rows[0]["FName"] = txtFirstName.Te xt;
dsContact.Table s["Contact"].Rows[0]["LName"] = txtLastName.Tex t;
....
}


Thanks.

Re: getting values from a textbox

Make sure the txt boxes are "runat='server' " variety.

Aka, not an Html Textbox (input), but rather a
<asp:textbox> </asp:textbox>

Re: getting values from a textbox

You realize that when the user clicks the Save button that another postback
occurs and the Page_Load event happens again, right? If you are setting the
value of the Textbox in Page_Load without checking the IsPostBack property
then you are overwriting the user's changes.

You need to get a firm grasp on the ASP.NET page lifecycle:
