Thanks Jana,

The CustomerID is varchar field in database.  Also, I didn't bind any 
control to database/column. Neither do I use IsPostBack condition (I tried 
it, and it doesn't matter). I use MS Data Application Blocks to retrieve 
data from database, and then assign/retrieve them to/from the text 
controls programmatically.

The data are showing fine, but I just can't get the updated value from the 
text control. I tried to create a simple form within the project, with one 
label, one text, and button. I get the same issue, which leads me 
wondering if I miss some settings either in form or application level.

May I send the code to U personally?

I don't have all your code and than it's hard to say whatâ??s wrong.

First:
arParams[0] = new SqlParameter("@CustomerID",txtCustomerID.Text);

I assume the CustumerID is of type SQLDBType.int, 4.
If so you have to convert you txtCustumerID.txt. Like this
Int32.parse(txtCustomerID.Text).

If this doesn't solve your problem. I guess you Databind you form controls
on each Page_load().

Then you should have a look at the
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
	databind();
}

The you are sure that you don't dataBind your form controls before update
();

Hope this help,
jana

Emne: [aspx_professional] 1st timer: problem in retrieving the value of
Text control in .NET Web form


I run into a problem of retrieving the value of Text control in one of the
web forms. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Here is the situation:
The page loads the data from database to each text fields on the form
first.  The user then update the data, and click a Save button.
Supposedly, it will take the new value and save it back to database.  For
some reasons, the codes in the Save_Click method are unable to retrieve
the new value.  The following is one of the C# statements:

arParams[0] = new SqlParameter("@CustomerID",txtCustomerID.Text);

The ReadOnly property of the control was set to "false", and there is no
change to that property in the codes.

Notes:
1. The text controls are not binding to any data source column, but
programmatically assigned the value instead.
2. The user was transferred from the other page with a QueryString which
is used as data retrieving criteria by this page.

Thanks in advance for your help.
