Values from page after postback

I converted my (working) web application from VS2003 (.NET 1.1) to VS2008(.NET 3.5, ASP.NET 2.0) and I'm experiencing the next problem: the textbox text which was changed on the client side, arrives without changes to the server side. The textbox is located in a user control.

When looking into Request.Form[...] I see the right (changed) text, but when looking into control itself it is not changed.

Any ideas? Any differences with ViewState / Postback?

How come there is a difference between Request.Form[..] and the control itself on the server side?

Have you disabled the control in the server side .. .??
Means you mentioned

textbox.Enabled = false;

Or made ReadOnly means

textbox.ReadOnly = true;

??

ASP.NET do not make any changes to the viewstate whenever a control is set Readonly or Disabled from the server side.

So use

textbox.Attributes.Add("readonly", "readonly");

I think this might be the reason. :rose:
