Not able to retrieve the values of text box

[srajama]

I have a form with Repeater . The repeater has Radio buttons, textareas, Check box. How do I get the values of the text area when the form is submitted to be saved to the database. I was able to get the values of other controls and not the values of textarea. Any help would be appreciated.

 
ltrDisplayText = CType(e.Item.FindControl("ltrDisplayText"), System.Web.UI.WebControls.Literal)
 
  If Trim(Right(strDisplay, 4)) = Trim("TEXT") Then
       ltrDisplayText.Text = "<TEXTAREA id='" & ltrDisplayText.ClientID & "' rows='5' cols='50'" & " name=" & drvData.Item("QuestionID").ToString.Trim & "'></TEXTAREA>"
  Else
       ltrDisplayText.Text = ""
  End If

You will need to create a new textbox and assign its value to the textbox in the repeater using the FindControl method

Dim txt As TextBox = CType(e.Item.FindControl("ltrDisplayText)"),TextBox)
Dim EnteredText As String = txt.Text

Use EnteredText as the parameter that you pass to your stored procedure or query.
