Custom control - why can I not access its value on PostBack

[Paul]

Hi all,

I have a simple custom control with a label and a text box. The text
control's value is persisting when I do a post back, so the view state
is working, but I cannot access the value in the code. Is there
anything different I have to do to expose the value of the text box?

testControl.Tex t returns the unchanged original value, not the new
value.

Thanks,

Paul
