[Solved] Problem in reading updated text from RadTextBox

[Siva]

Hello,

I have about 10 RadTextBoxes on a web page which get populated from database in page load. I have to edit the text in these textboxes and save the updated text back in database.

The problem is: two of the RadTextBoxes do not give me the updated text. I debugged my code and found that they are retaining the values they get in page load.

I replaced those two RadTextBoxes with standard ASP.NET TextBox they worked fine.

All the RadTextBoxes (which work fine and which don't) have same set of properties. I do not understand the reason behind this problem.

Please help me on this issue.

Thank You,
Siva

Hello Siva,

The issue is indeed odd and I cannot say for certain what might be causing it. Can you please share with us the markup/source of the problematic page using the 'Format Code Block' options from the top right corner of the column editor? Thus I will be able to review your code logic in detail and advice you further.

Kind regards,

Hello Sebastian,

Thanks for your reply. Following is the table I have in a content place holder.

The RadTextBox with ID 'txtUserID' does not give me the updated value. It gives me the value it has when the page is loaded. All the other RadTextBoxes are fine.

Please let me know if you need any more information.

<table width="100%">

<tr>

<td width="70%">

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="76%">

Hello Siva,

Your RadTextBox definition seems fine to me. Can you please check whether you accidentally set EnableViewState = false for it from the code-behind of the page or get a javascript error on form submit which may prevent its value save? Additionally, does replacing it with standard MS TextBox and using RadInputManager to style it makes a difference in this case?

Let me know what your findings are.

Hi Sebastian,

My problem is due to a javascript error on the page. (I have tried to access a control in JavaScript which is made invisible.

I eliminated the javascript error and I could read the value correctly.

Thanks for your concern.

Thank You,

Siva
