Newb textbox question

[Eric]

I have a textbox on a form that is populated from the database when the form
loads. When I check textbox.Text when the user clicks my submit button, the
value is always what it was when the form loaded, no matter of what the user
changed the text to. Any suggestions?

protected void Page_Load(objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{
DataSet ds = Customers.GetCu stomer(Request["Customer"]);
if (ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count == 0)
return;

name.Text = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][0].ToString();
phone.Text = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][1].ToString();
contact.Text = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][2].ToString();
address.Text = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][3].ToString();
city.Text = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][4].ToString();
state.SelectedV alue = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][5].ToString();
zip.Text = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][6].ToString();
notes.Text = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][7].ToString();
}
protected void editSubmit_Clic k(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (editSubmit.Tex t == "Edit")
{
name.ReadOnly = false;
phone.ReadOnly = false;
contact.ReadOnl y = false;
address.ReadOnl y = false;
city.ReadOnly = false;
state.Enabled = true;
zip.ReadOnly = false;
notes.ReadOnly = false;

editSubmit.Text = "Submit";
}
else
{
name.ReadOnly = true;
phone.ReadOnly = true;
contact.ReadOnl y = true;
address.ReadOnl y = true;
city.ReadOnly = true;
state.Enabled = false;
zip.ReadOnly = true;
notes.ReadOnly = true;

editSubmit.Text = "Edit";
string s = name.Text;

Response.Redire ct("CustomerDet ails.aspx?Custo mer=" + s, false);
}
}

You're resetting the textbox each time you load the page. Remember, the
clicking 'submit' still causes the Page_Load event to fire. You want to wrap
your load code with an IsPostBack check as follows:

protected void Page_Load(objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Note the IsPostBack call
if(!this.IsPost Back)
{
DataSet ds = Customers.GetCu stomer(Request["Customer"]);
if (ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count == 0)
return;

name.Text = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][0].ToString();
phone.Text = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][1].ToString();
contact.Text = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][2].ToString();
address.Text = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][3].ToString();
city.Text = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][4].ToString();
state.SelectedV alue = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][5].ToString();
zip.Text = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][6].ToString();
notes.Text = ds.Tables[0].Rows[0][7].ToString();
}
}
