I am trying to have a TextBox have a default value when the page is loaded, but if the text is changed and someone clicks on a button, it sends the new value. Whatever I do though, MyBox.Text always equals the value that it was on page loading. Anyone have any suggestions?

How are you setting the default value? Are you setting it in the markup of the page or in the Page_Load method?

In Page_Load.

And is the assignment conditional based on postback?

If Not IsPostback Then
   MyBox.Text = "Default value"
End If

If it doesn't look like this, it will set the "default" value every time the page loads which will overwrite any posted changed.

(BTW- I guess we are talking about ASP.NET here. You didn't specify web forms or win forms and I didn't even notice the form was just VB.NET. When you post a question in this form, it's helpful to specify detail about the environment and application you are working in where appropriate.)

That fixed it. Thanks.

Will remember in future about being more specific. Nice forums, BTW.
