How to change the textbox's text property

[jamesjing]

Hi,

I am new to ASP.net. I am working on a Web application by using C# and ASP.net. In the page_load event, all textboxes are loaded based on the default values. When the page is shown up, users can change the values in the textboxes and click save button on the page to update the default values. My problem is when I change value in box, for example form AB to CD, the value saved still is AB when I click save button. I used breakpoint to debut the code line by line and the text properity of the textbox is the old one(AB). It seems that the old value is remembered in somewhere in the page_load event.

Please help me.

Thanks

James

// IsPostBack tells you, as the programmer, if the user has hit a server side control with autopostback = true, in your case the button.
if (!IsPostBack)
{
    // Your text box initialisation.
}
else
{
    // Your database updates.
}

If you guys post your code, I will show you what axion_sa is saying about the postback.

This might be an hail mary, but I think they are using the html submit button and not an asp.net server control.
