Old values retained from auto-populated form 1

[fusionboy]

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to C# and I've got a strange bug that I can't figure out. I'm creating an EditInfo page, and I'm auto-populating the form with values from a database. I have a method that is triggered on submit that is supposed to retrieve the (edited) values from the form and update the database. The problem is that this method is not picking up any of the changes made to the textboxes. It's still seeing the Textbox.Text value from the auto-population.

Any ideas?

thanks!

Does your form rebind the data from the database before reading the values and trying to save them?

If this is ASP.NET you can use Page.IsPostback to determine wether the form is a postback and therefore only bind the data the first time it is displayed.

if(!Page.IsPostback) BindData();

Thanks for your response, Rob! You were right -- the auto-populate method was being called on page load. What I've learned here is that:

Page_Load() is fired EVERY time the page is called -- INCLUDING a postback.

Of course, this makes sense now.

thanks for your help.
