Question

I have a web application consisting of an aspx-file.

On page load two textboxes are filled with data (a “username” and a “password”). This works.

On a button click it should save the textboxes’ text. But for some reason the text of the textboxes isn’t updated if I have changed it manually meanwhile (by typing in some letters with my keyboard).

Why is that? And how can I tell my program to regard my changes?

My code is:

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        CredentialsManager cm = new CredentialsManager();
        TextBox_Benutzername.Text = cm.Username;
        TextBox_Passwort.Text = cm.Password;
    }

    protected void Button_Speichern_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        CredentialsManager cm = new CredentialsManager();
        cm.setCredentials(TextBox_Benutzername.Text, TextBox_Passwort.Text);
    }

EDIT:

It works with this improvement:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)      
{          
    if(!IsPostBack) 
    { 
        CredentialsManager cm = new CredentialsManager();          
        TextBox_Benutzername.Text = cm.Username;          
        TextBox_Passwort.Text = cm.Password;      
    } 
}

For further information, see answers below. Thanks everyone!

Answer 1

Try checking for a postback –

private void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!IsPostBack)
    {
        CredentialsManager cm = new CredentialsManager();
        TextBox_Benutzername.Text = cm.Username;
        TextBox_Passwort.Text = cm.Password;
    }
}

Your Page_Load code will currently run after every button click (or postback), and overwrite the values you have manually added.
