Getting the current value from a field

[Paul]

I am having real difficulty trying to get the current value of a field
on a webform.

Using fieldname.Text doesn't work?

Is there something that I need to do to pull through the current value,
not the existing value.

Cheers
Paul

Hi,

show the code of page_load , probably you are rebinding it, or something
like that.

Re: Getting the current value from a field

In the page load

DataGrid1.EditI temIndex = e.Item.ItemInde x;
DataGrid1.DataB ind();

Re: Getting the current value from a field

that you have to wrap around a
if ( ! IsPostBack )

Re: Getting the current value from a field

Now when I click on the edit button it loads a blank datagrid

Edit Command code...

DataGrid1.EditI temIndex = e.Item.ItemInde x;
DataGrid1.DataB ind();

Re: Getting the current value from a field

The main problem I'm having is when I try and update a datagrid.

This is the page load code:

DataGrid1.EditI temIndex = e.Item.ItemInde x;
DataGrid1.DataB ind();

and this is what I'm using to get the value out.
String newValue =((TextBox)e.It em.Cells[1].Controls[0]).Text;

But this returns the old value?
