Question

IGNORE THIS:

I was rebinding the grid in the Onload method.

I have a grid view with some textboxes, which I have to wrap in a UpdatePanel Control. So it looks like this:

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="upDistribution" runat="server" OnLoad="upDistribution_OnLoad">
    <ContentTemplate>
        <asp:GridView ID="gvDistributions" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false"
            OnRowDataBound="gvDistributions_RowDataBound"
            CssClass="TallCells ContrastTable MaxWidth LeftHeaders"
            GridLines="Both" ShowFooter="True" style="">
            <RowStyle HorizontalAlign="Left"  />

            <EmptyDataTemplate>
                No pricing history data found.
            </EmptyDataTemplate>

            <Columns>
                <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="PriceA">
                    <ItemTemplate>

                        <asp:TextBox ID="txtPriceA" runat="server" />
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>
                <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="DistPrice">
                    <ItemTemplate>

                        <asp:TextBox ID="txtDistPrice" runat="server" />
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>
              </Columns>
        </asp:GridView>
    </ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>

There is a button “Save” when I would like to get the value entered for the txtboxes. If there is no UpdatePanel around the GV, i can can easily get the txtbox values like:

((TextBox)gvDistributions.Rows[0].Cells[0].FindControl("txtPriceA")).Text

But when, the GridView is wrapped with UpdatePanel, the above statement returns the value that was set on the page load.

How can I get the value of the text box without getting rid of the updatePanel. I need the update panel, because the number of rows, and dates are dependent on another variable in another user control.
