problem with textbox.value 1

[nicklieb]

for some reason my page is erroring on the text box. When I view the code is see the textbox initition

protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox txtusername;
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox txtpassword;

but that's not what I want...I want the following

protected System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputText txtusername;
protected System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputText txtpassword;

but when i switch back design view vis studion changes it back to the latter... As a result I get the following error

The base class includes the field 'txtusername', but its type (System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputText) is not compatible with the type of control (System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox).

I can't select from the dropdown the type I want.. I am dragging the textbox off the toolbox

thanks in advance

Delete the existing textbox and in the code-behind ensure the declarations are also gone.

Drag a html textbox onto the designer.

Right-click on the html text box and select "Run as server control"

In the code-behind you should not have

protected System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputText txtusername;

Hope this helps
