mobile text box background color

[leearach2004]

Hi there I am new to creating mobile web applications using vs 2005.

I wish to change the background colour of a mobile text box at runtime, displaying green background if the value is 1 and red if it is 0.

I can change the background of the whole form by using

if(textbox.text = 1)
me.fomr1.BackColor = Drawing.Color.LightGreen
else
me.fomr1.BackColor = Drawing.Color.Red
end if

this changes the forms background fine but i want to change the text box background
I have tried using

me.textBox1.BackColor = Drawing.Color.Red

this does not show any errors and the option ios their to use the property but it does not change the textbox colour

My code is as follows

 Protected Sub oblstRec_ItemSelect(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.MobileControls.ObjectListSelectEventArgs) Handles oblstRec.ItemSelect
        Me.ActiveForm = frmRes
        lblpartn.Text = e.ListItem.Item("PartNumber")
        txtpartn.Text = e.ListItem.Item("PartName")
        txtcon.Text = e.ListItem.Item("Condition")
        txtloc.Text = e.ListItem.Item("Location")
        txtquan.Text = e.ListItem.Item("Quantity")
        txtval.Text = e.ListItem.Item("Valid")
        If (txtval.Text = 0) Then
            txtval.BackColor = Drawing.Color.Red
        Else
            txtval.BackColor = Drawing.Color.LightGreen
        End If
       
    End Sub

This works:

TextBox1.BackColor = Color.Chocolate

No cannot change the colour of any controls background for some reason, i am using mboile forms

You just contradicted yourself. You said that you can change the color of the form background, but cannot change the color of any of the controls. The form a type of control.

Are there special textbox controls that you have to use with the mobile form?
