passing server-side value to button click event

[Rajeesh123]

I have a dom tree(same kind of treeview in .net). when user clicks on it , I pass the id to a hidden field and update it with ajax. The main page has one if clause to get the condition of hidden field and proceed. This if caluse fetches the data from data base and generates path to root of the clicked node. The path is stored on a server side value. I need to use this value to update the value of a text box. No posting can be done as the user might have entered other input fields and text boxes. So I would not lose those data. I have one button and onclick it may update the text field. But how do I pass the server side value to client side.. I mean to the button click event

Your question is in regards to ASP.NET which is part of the .NET package, so I have moved it to the .NET forum. (BTW I changed the title before I tried to move it, and I don't know how it reverted. Anyway, this title is not very descriptive, and it is unlikely that people will open this thread. Unfortunately, now that it has been moved, I can't change the title.)

What are you doing here?
you're recalculating a path and this needs to be displayed in a TextBox?
Are you using Ajax.NET? If so you need to put the button and the TextBox in the UpdatePanel so that the TextBox is updated when the button asynchronously submits that section of the page...........
