    textboxes retaining original value

    Hi,

    I am a novice at .net and have created a page of text boxes that are
    populated from a database. I want the user to be able to change the
    values in the box then submit the page and have these value updated to
    the databse. However, whenever I post the page it is the old values
    that are posted, not the newly entered ones.

    I am totally confused - this was SUCH an easy thign to accomplish
    using traditional ASP. Your help woudl be appreciated

    Yours

    JC

      Re: textboxes retaining original value

      You are probably overwriting your values with those from the database.
      Wherever you initially set the Textboxes you need to put that code inside a
      block that checks for postback. That way only the first time you hit the
      page (not a post back), will the values be placed into the Textboxes.

      if (!IsPostBack) {
      // Do db call here and set up textboxes.
      }

          ....a little code should help the list answer this...
          I suggest that you repost this message into the "aspnet" group and provide
          some of your source code..before that check that your ASP.NET controls are
          inside a form like this..

          <form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
          <asp:TextBox id="TextBox1" runat="server"> </asp:TextBox>
          ....
          ....
          </form>

          /Oscar
