Hi there,

This will never work. The code you posted looks too much like classic ASP where you use Response.Write to send out *HTML* to the browser.

However, ASP.NET Controls like the text box are server side controls that are capable of sending HTML to the browser. If, instead, you send the ASPX markup of such a control to the client, all you get there is the flat text, like <asp:Button> instead of a true control.

You need to rethink your strategy a little. You don't need Response.Write anymore, but instead you need to New up a control and add it to the page or another control:

Code:

Dim myTextBox As new TextBox()
myTextBox.ID = "SomeControlId"
myTextBox.Text = "Hello World"

myPlaceHolder.Cotrols.Add(myTextBox)

This code assumes you have an <asp:PlaceHolder> control called myPlaceHolder on the page somewhere.
HtH,

Imar, Thank you very much for your answer. But I don't understand it all. I just start to learnning asp.net, you can show me more example. Now I have the parent page call the child page. It's a modal dialog and I want to select data from Table or Data Grid in the child page. Then when I selected, I want to pass value back to parent page. I want to do? Help me....

Passing data from a child form to a parent page is not something that can be done with ASP.NET. You'll need something like JavaScript for that.

If you Google for the terms "modal dialog pass data child parent page" you'll find plenty of useful information.

If you still can't make it work, I think you're better off reposting this question at one of the JavaScript forums here at p2p.wrox.com...

Cheers,

Imar

JavaScript is the best way, you could also set session variables on the pop up page and retrieve them from the parent page.
