I thought I heard that in .net 4 we would be able to reference asp:textbox’s by id and not have to use clientid to get the value. I can’t find this documented anywhere. Just wondering if anyone knows if this works and what the syntax is?

You still have to reference the ClientID but .NET 4.0 allows you to specify values for the ClientID.
There’s a good overview of what was changed in regards to ClientID in ASP.NET 4.0 at:
