How do I get post back value from Rad fields ?

[Xrcr]

Hello,

Beginner question:
I have a RadToolBox:
<telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1" Runat="server" name="nameTest"/>


And I have an ASP button that run this code:
        Dim a As String = Request.Form("nameTest")
        Dim b As String = Request.Form("RadTextBox1")

Both a and b always remain null.

Questions
- How do I get postback values from Rad components ?
- How do I get postback values from Rad components when they are in user control ?


Thank you

Hi,

RadTextBox is an object of type Telerik.Web.UI.RadTextBox and cannot be cast to string.
The correct way to get the text of a RadTextBox is:

Dim a As String = RadTextBox1.Text

Same as with ASP.NET native controls, their value is usually accessed through the Text or Value property.

If you consider yourself a beginner with RadControls, I believe that you will find the following step-by-step tutorial very helpful:

Additionally, you can browse the online documentation and demos on our site which will help you understand the controls' functionalities and APIs better.

Kind regards,
