Trouble retrieving form values from VB

Question

Hi,

I've created a module for my website and when a button is clicked, it calls a VB sub on the server.

I need this sub to retrieve the values that were filled in on the form, but the things I need to retrieve values from are not asp controls, they are simple <input> and <select> tags.

How can I retrieve values from input on a .aspx page from VB code executed behind it?

Answer 1

Use the Request.Form object for POST. Or the Request.QueryString for GET.

Your HTML

<input id="firstName" name="firstName />

Your VB.NET

Dim firstName as String = Request.Form("firstName")
