RadTextbox binding does not update the underlying object

[dotnetshar net]

Hoping
I have an object (skuform),whose property(SKUCode) is bound to a textbox.
If I run this form , change the value in the textbox (say "test123"), and hit the button, I notice that the object's (skuForm) property does not reflect the new value ("test123"), could you please suggest what could be wrong.

  <td><telerik:RadTextBox runat="server" ID="txtSKUCode"  
                   text='<%# skuForm.SKUCode %>' EnableViewState="true"      Wrap="false" 
                   ontextchanged="txtSKUCode_TextChanged"></telerik:RadTextBox></td></tr> 
<telerik:RadButton ID="RadButton1" 
                    runat="server" onclick="RadButton1_Click">
                </telerik:RadButton>

Hello,

When you bind the Text property with inline <%# %> tags, the value from datasource is copied for Text. But this is one way binding and when you change the Text property the object use as a datasource is not changed. You can change the datasource object in TextChanged event of the RadTextBox like in the code-bellow:

Aspx:

<telerik:RadTextBox runat="server" ID="radTextBox1" Text='<%# obj1.Code %>' EnableViewState="true"
  OnTextChanged="radTextBox1_TextChanged">
</telerik:RadTextBox>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" D="radTextBox1" Text='<%# obj1.Code2 %>'></asp:TextBox>
<telerik:RadButton ID="RadButton1" Text="Button" runat="server" OnClick="RadButton1_Click">
</telerik:RadButton>

C#:

public class dataClass
{
    public string Code
    {
        get;
        set;
    }
    public string Code2
    {
        get;
        set;
    }
}

public dataClass obj1 = new dataClass();

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    obj1.Code = "Default code";
    obj1.Code2 = "Default code";
}

protected void RadButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string code = obj1.Code; //will return the new entered text
    string code2 = obj1.Code2; // will return default text
}
protected void radTextBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    obj1.Code = (sender as RadTextBox).Text;
}
