ModalPopupExtender Textbox

I have a update panel with textbox. What is the best way to get the textbox string into a variable that can be passed into a stored procedure using C#?

Hi,

Not sure i fully understand your question but lets assume you need to get the value of a textbox nested inside an updatepanel into a string you would need to do something like:

Dim txt As TextBox = CType(UpdatePanel1.FindControl("TextBox1"), TextBox)
Dim strVariable As String = txt.Text.ToString()

You can then pass strVariable as a variable to your stored procedure.

thanks for the response.

it makes sense what you are suggesting. for some reason though my update panel is not firing when by button is selected.

Hi,

Just one more thing, for future reference. An updatepanel and a modalpanel are two completely different things.
