I have the following html:

<html>
    <body>

        <form runat="server">
        Name: <input type="text" name="name" />
        <br />
        <input type="submit" name="submit" />
        </form>

    </body>
</html>

How do I retrieve the value in the “name” textbox posted back to the webserver to manipulate in ASP.NET WebForms?

(I know about the ASP.NET built-in controls and the possibilities with them, but I am looking for a “clean” solution without the use of built-in ASP.NET controls)

    If you can’t, or don’t want to use asp.net textboxes, then you can retrieve the name of a regular html textbox like this:

    string nameTextPosted = Request.Form["name"];

    Just note that textboxes created in this manner will not automatically persist their values across postbacks like asp.net textboxes will.
