Retrieving the new updated value of a Textbox in a ListView when Update linkbutton is

[slao]

I am unable to get the updated value of textbox within a listview when "Update" link button is clicked which calls a function.

<asp:ListView ID="_lvCartItems" OnItemUpdating="CartPartItem_OnItemUpdating"
         OnItemDeleting="CartPartItem_OnItemDeleting" runat="server">
 
            <LayoutTemplate>
                <table width="900px" border="0" style="font-size: small">
                    <tr style="background: #DDDDDD;">
                        <th align="center" style="width:80px">Delete</th>
                        <th align="center" style="width:100px">Quantity</th>
                        <th align="center" valign="top">Part No. </th>
                        <th align="center" valign="top">Part Name </th>
                        <th align="center" valign="top">Total Price</th>
                    </tr>
                    <tr runat="server" id="itemPlaceholder"></tr>
                </table>                    
            </LayoutTemplate>
            <ItemTemplate>
                <tr>
                    <td align="center" style="width:80px">
                        <asp:LinkButton runat="server" ID="_lnbDelete" Text="Delete" CommandName="Delete" Font-Underline="True" ForeColor="Black" />
                    </td>
                    <td align="center" style="width:100px">
                        <asp:TextBox ID="_tbQuantity" Text='<%# Eval("quantity") %>' runat="server" MaxLength="2" Width="40px" />
                        <asp:LinkButton ID="_btnUpdateQty" runat="server" CommandName="Update" Text="Update" Font-Underline="True" ForeColor="Black"/>                            
                    </td>
                    <td align="center" style="width:150px">
                        <asp:Label ID="_lblPartNo" Text='<%# Eval("partItem.PartNo").ToString() %>' runat="server"/>
                    </td>
                    <td align="center" style="width:450px">
                        <asp:Label ID="_lblPartName" Text='<%# Eval("partItem.PartName").ToString() %>' runat="server"/>
                    </td>
                    <td align="center" style="width:120px">
                        <asp:Label ID="_lblTotalCost" Text='<%# "$" + Eval("totalCost").ToString() %>' runat="server"/>
                    </td>
                </tr>                
            </ItemTemplate>
    </asp:ListView>
 

linkbutton update event method

  protected void CartPartItem_OnItemUpdating(object sender, ListViewUpdateEventArgs e)
{
    //Remeber to handle value of 0 quantity
    Label _lblPartNo = (Label)_lvCartItems.Items[e.ItemIndex].FindControl("_lblPartNo");
    Part p = PartDataLoader.GetPartByPartNo(_lblPartNo.Text);
    cartList = (List<CartItem>)Session["partsInCart"];
    TextBox _tbQuantity = (TextBox)_lvCartItems.Items[e.ItemIndex].FindControl("_tbQuantity");
 
    int qty = Convert.ToInt32(_tbQuantity.Text.Trim().ToString());
 
    if (int.TryParse(_tbQuantity.Text.Trim().ToString(), out qty))
    {
        cartList[e.ItemIndex].quantity = qty;
    }
    else 
    {
        _lblMessage.Text = "Quantity has not been updated.";
    }        
 
    Session["partsInCart"] = cartList;
    _lvCartItems.DataSource = cartList;
    _lvCartItems.DataBind();
    ConvertToPrice();
 
 

I am having a problem retrieving the new value from text box. Pleas advise

You are probably overwriting the value in the Page Load event.

Could you please paste the code for your Page Load event?

Yes, it was the Page_Load method that was overwriting the textbox value. Got it working. Thanks for your help.
