Postback not fetching correct data

[M8KWR]

Hi,

I have a webpage with 1 textbox, which is populated onload, with "TEST DATA"

this is changed to "NEW DATA"

on a button click (in code), when querying the textbox text value, it returns "TEST DATA", and not "NEW DATA" which it has been changed to.

I am unsure what is going on.

Any help would be appreciated.

The button click does a postback, which runs the page_load sub again, whcih resets the value of the textbox to "TEST DATA". To keep the value in the textbox, do this in page_load:

If Not IsPostBack Then
TextBox1.Text = "TEST DATA"
EndIf

This will put "TEST DATA" in the textbox only the first time the page loads - i.e., when IsPostBack is False.
