TELERIK/ASP.NET - Cannot retrieve textbox text, from code behind.

Question

I have a Telerik:RadTextBox control in my markup called txtName. I'm trying to retrieve the inputed value in the code behind with foo = txtName.Text; but var and txtName always show an empty string.

Any ideas?

Markup

<telerik:RadTextBox ID="txtName" Runat="server" Width="300px" />

CodeBehind

campaign.Name = txtName.Text.Trim();

I guess the code couldn't be easier. Basically what's happening is, when I click my 'save' button, there's a postback and the text in the RadTextBox just disappears.

update
Found the problem. My web.config file had a different version of the Telerik dll file that was actually in my bin folder.

Answer 1

You're not actually using "var" as a variable name, right? It's a reserved word in C# 4.
