Web Textbox Control text not changing

[Opa]

Hi,
In my page load event I set the Text value of a TextBox control
as follows:

private void Page_Load(objec t sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
this.txtName = "Joe"
}

I have a button which needs to get the value of the txtName after any changes.
I change the value of text control after the page loads, but when I check
the value
when the button is clicked, the text control value remains "Joe".

private void btnSaveBottom_C lick(object sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
string name = txtName.Text;

// name should be new current value entered in text control, but
// I keep getting "Joe"
}
Any ideas?

The Page.Load event is triggered on every postback therefore your text is
being re-initialized to "Joe" before the btnSaveBottom_C lick is reached.
Change the Page_Load method to look like:
private void Page_Load(objec t sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
if (!Page.IsPostBa ck)
{
this.txtName = "Joe";
}
}
