Access Programmatically Created Textbox 1

[marcusmco]

Hello,

I have with vb.net created a couple of text boxes programmatically. Now I cannot figure out how to access the text boxes' text properties further down in the code. Normally one just write e.g. txtFirstName.Text but that obviously does not work because the code does not recognise txtFirstName since it does not exist when the application is not running...

Any ideas?

Thanks.

what exactly does "running" to here means? because everytime you create it you can access it...

You are correct, it doesn't exist at design time. You will have to use FindControl() in your code to finde the control you create dynamically, then set it's properties.

Aha, I will look into that one (FindControl). Sorry for not using the proper terminology. I am used to the wonderful world of windows client applications...
