Solution 1

You can use PreviousPage to access that

C#

TextBox txt = (TextBox)Page.PreviousPage.FindControl("textBox1");

5! That would be best fit here based on whatever info shared.

The way you are trying to access the value of control from previous page is not correct.
As suggested, either you go with Previous Page concept OR you need to follow other state management techniues to access the textbox value.
Other suggestible ways would be:
1. Session
2. QueryString

Have a look at details of them here:
