accessing content of dynamically created TextBoxes

Tags: c# asp.net
Hi,

I have problems accessing the Text of dynamically created TextBoxes.

I have attached the code of the aspx file. The RadTreeView1 is initialized during the Page_Load (not post back). When the user clicks on a node a bunch of Textboxes containing the attribute values of this node is dynamically created from the code behind plus one button (see Panel1). The idea is that this enables the user to change the attributes (by changing the values in the Textboxes and clicking on the aforementioned button). Could you please advice me on how to access the latest Text values of the TextBoxes after the user presses the button? Is this possible? Thanks!

Chris

Sorry this does not make much sense to me.

In my method:

public void update_button_Click(Object sender, System.EventArgs e)

I do not seem to be able to access the Controls in Panel1.

Request.Form cannot return a textbox but only a string or am I missing something?

C
 
05.09.2008 at 08:45AM PDT, ID: 21534030
No. Request.Form return the Control of the ID you have specified. So you have to cast it to the type of Control (TextBox in your case) to be able to access his properties:

In more lines of code.

string textboxID = Session["ID"].ToString();
object obj = Request.Form[textboxID];
TextBox txtbox = (TextBox)obj;
 
string VALUE_OF_THE_TEXT_BOX = txtbox.Text;
