How would I access the original value of a textbox in my DataList control at update time?

I don't think you can unless you save it manually, or can look back into the original data structure for it. The page controls only tell you THAT/IF it changed, but not what it changed from.

Thanks, planoie!

I put in some more code to reread the original record into another instance
of the data class.
