Question

I have a Panel on my Page:

<asp:Panel ID='pnlTest' runat='server' /> 

Then I dynamically add a TextBox to it on Page_Load:

    TextBox simpleTextBox = new TextBox();     pnlTest.Controls.Add(simpleTextBox);     simpleTextBox.ID = 'SimpleTextBox-1'; 

Is there a way to pull in the information typed in this TextBox without pulling it directly from Request.Form? I thought I could do something like this after I added it again:

lblPresentResults.Text = myTextBox.Text; 

I know this example seems contrived, but I figured I’d try to eliminate all the other variables in my specific application, especially to ask a question here.

You need to add the textbox before viewstate loads, such as in Page_Init, and you should be able to do this.
