Hi Kerry,
[quoted text, click to view] >I have declared my textbox as a control in my codebehind.
I think the box shgould be declared as a TextBox as a
Control does not have a Text property.
In all of my code-behind modules, here is what my
declarations look like :
Protected WithEvents textbox1 As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox
This is how the designed would create the refernce if you
were to drag a text box control from the toolbox.
Also, is your textbox contained within another server-
side control ? Perhaps a panel ? It is the case, you must
use oParentControl.FindControl("textbox1").
Another safe way to reference your text box is :
Dim txt as TextBox
txt = Page.FindControl("testbox1") and check if txt is
nothing.
Hope this helps,
Ben

Kerri,
Have you set the TextMode of your TextBox to MultiLine? I have run into =
a similar problem using a TextBox that is set this way. The text =
entered by the user does not seem to be returned. Text that is =
pre-loaded is displayed and returned, but no modifications to it by the =
user are returned.
I have only seen this behavior with MultiLine TextBoxes.
