Hello,
I am trying to retrieve a value for one of the controls within the FormView on my ASP.net 2.0 webpage. My code is:
Protected Sub FormView1_DataBinding(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles FormView1.DataBinding
If FormView1.CurrentMode = FormViewMode.Edit Then
If Page.IsPostBack Then
Dim txtTextBoxValue As New TextBox
txtTextBoxValue = _
CType(FormView1.FindControl("JobTextBox"), TextBox)
Response.Write(txtTextBoxValue)
End If
End If
End Sub
This code is firing except that it is returning me a value of:
System.Web.UL.WebControls.TextBox
I want what's actually stored in the textbox. Anybody have any suggestions or can tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thank you--much appreciated...

You need the control's Text property. The code you have now will call ToString instead....
Response.Write(txtTextBoxValue.Text)
By the way, you don't need to new up the control first:
Dim txtTextBoxValue As New TextBox
txtTextBoxValue = _
CType(FormView1.FindControl("JobTextBox"), TextBox)
Saves a few CPU cycles....
