There should be a Text or Value property you can get that information from. Did you look into that yet?

jrs So you load the page and the value is filled in the textbox? I understand you are lost but at which part? You want to write the textbox value back to the database?

You need a button or some other way to commit the change. If it's a vb.net form the sysntaxt for the text box value is 'me.textbox1.te xt' where textbox1 = the name of your textbox.

Ok then there should be a text changed event or something that you can listen for. Have you read the documentation on MSDN for textboxes?

erm.. i still don't have the answer how to get the client-side textbox.. most of the sites / forum that i visit they suggests to change on the java / html script.. which i very unfamiliar with yet..

i have done to avoid such problem is..

i don't load the page with any text / data from database automatically into the textbox on page_load.. instead i let user to click a button to fill the textbox first manually...

then user may change it to anything in the text box..

then by click save / update button.. the data can be capture by variable for latest text that type by user while ago.

then take variable into SQL command in to database..

to me it's quite simple than to get into the java/html coding..

it is quite frustrating that vb.net 2003 in aspx scripting have A LOT OF object and handler limitation...

thanks to all replies...Red Son..abev..

The further this thread goes on the less clear your question is. If you are looking for someone to do your work for you then you are out of luck as that is against the rules of this forum even if someone was kind enough to try it.

If you have attempted to solve this problem yourself and not been able to then please post the code on what you have tried and the experts will try to help you. However, asking a general vague question that is unclear and posting code in a language you say you are not familiar with is not helpful.

The experts will be unable to help you further unless you; (a) Make your question a lot clearer and (b) show some attempt you have made to solve this problem yourself.

I'll give it another shot.

Page loads.
User presses button to load textbox
User may optionally change text in textbox
If user changes text in text box user clicks a button to save changes.

Before I continue am I correct? vb.net may have limitations but this is not one of them.

my question is how to get a changed 'latest" textbox that on interface of client-sideto variables to get into SQL command.
In other words, i try to update information that show in the textbox into SQL which changed by user at client-side....

then several replies came in, which doesn't reply to my problem.. but then in few hours later, i got the answer to avoid such problem.

which to put out button to call the data from SQL into textbox AFTER PAGE HAVE BEEN LOAD... which user able to change it.. then came save/update button to get the NEW INFORMATION ON TEXT BOX INTO SQL.

to "abev" question i do not check whether the text box was changed or not, because in just beginner, i didn't how to change the JAVA/HTML/ASPX coding to get the response form client-side, i just know how to manipulate the interface and handling variables and data ONLY thru vb coding. And i also have try to use the standard stand alone application(exe ) by put out command of ON TEXTBOX CHANGED, but it isn't working on vb.net/aspx(WEB BASE APPLICATION)

I'M BE OPEN TO ANY SUGGESTION TO IMPROVE MY SYSTEM.

i just need to post my solution and still open to any idea to improvement.
I believe there are many people out there are having this problem.

Your problem lies in the fact that asp.net is an advanced technology. The newbies here are expected to know the basics. Why we don't give you the answer is that we hope that you will learn more by trying it youself. This is why we term your post homework where the poster is just requesting the answer.

So please find a tutorial, book or course. I have removed unecessary comments from your post. Please follow the posting guidelines for your next post. Thanks.
