Hi friends,

I have created a ActiveX control that contains one textbox and one button. Added that ActiveX control on by .aspx page using <object... tag="" and="" the="" control="" is="" functioning="" as="" per="" my="" mode="hold" />
Now the only thing pending is to read/ get value of the textbox which is inside that ActiveX control.

I have created following property in the control

C#

private String mStr_CardNumber;
public String CardNumber
{
    get { return mStr_CardNumber; }
    set { mStr_CardNumber = value; }
}

but it returns "" (blank) even if textbox has got some value.

I am in real trouble now...Can anyone help me...Please…

Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

Look properly! You did not create any relationship with your TextBox.

C#

class MyControl {
    Button Button = new Button();
    TextBox TextBox = new TextBox();
    public string CardNumber {
        get { return this.TextBox.Text; }
        set { this.TextBox.Text = value; }
    }
    //...
}

It can be more complex, but you should get the idea.

Thanks for reply...

Tried the suggested code, but no luck.

text in the ActiveX control is getting set properly, but not able to read it (javascript or server side anything will work for me).

Can you run under debugger, after all? Do you read or write this property at all?
Yes, you type in the edir box. What triggers reading ins value? You need to have something (button) which triggers getting edit box data (which is a HTML textarea). What triggers postback?

On button click that is present on the form, I want to read textbox value (textbox which is inside the activex control).

So, did you run it under debugger and see what is called and what is not?
Looks so simple....

I did following workaround to handle above sinerio

- From my ActiveX control created a .txt file on some predefined location as c:\SomeFolder\FileName.txt and writing CardNumber which I am reading from the client smart card reader.

- And added an extra button (which I really don't want to) which will read my textfile using javascript and will have communication with server.

I just made it working by some way, but I didn't liked it at all. So if anyone gets any solution on above issue, you are most welcome.

Still waiting for correct solution
