Hi,
  When an empty textbox is posted what are the contents the receiving page 
gets from it, if not "" or null?. This is about c# exclusively. If you do 
know the answer please advise. Thank you.

What I usually get is an Exception is thrown - because the place the data 
is going to is expecting a string, and it doesnt get it. The way to deal 
with it is to catch the exception.

Hope this helps.

Hi John Atkinson

  Using Request.Form["text2"].GetType() I found out that submitting an 
empty textbox sends a system string. Thinking that it must be an empty 
string I used this:

  if(Request.Form["text1"] != null && Request.Form["text1"] != "")

  The null worked the first time the page opened and the "" part worked 
when the empty textbox was submitted. Once a textbox was filled and 
submitted the asp on the server remembered the content and sent it with 
the message even if the textbox was now empty.
