Dynamic TextBox using Repeater. How do I get the Text??

[notrut]

Hi,

I am creating some Textboxes dynamically with a Repeater control with some info from a database. I am able to generate the textboxes, however, I am not able to get the values from those boxes when I hit a submit button. (i.e. I want to update the database with the values in the textboxes)

Any idea on how to do this???

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,
Without seeing any code I can only tell you an idea of something to check.

Be sure that when you are creating the Controls you are dynamically assigning new IDs and Names to the controls.

If you are not the controls will not work properly

Just a thought

paste your code where you're trying to access it...usually a .FindControl("controlName) is in order....

The "FindControl" answer gets my vote. With dynamically created controls, you have to "find" them in order to access them. Controls created out of an ItemTemplate are in this category.
