Question

Answer 1

+4 A:

You can use server-side plain HTML controls, by just using runat="server".

For instance:


<input type="text" runat="server" id="myTextBox" />

// ...and then in the code-behind...

myTextBox.Value = "harbl";

...and for the record these are typically known as "Hybrid Controls" in the ASP.NET realm. Not quite HTML controls, not quite Web Controls.

I've never seen them referred to as hybrid controls. They've always been HTML Controls.

John Saunders 2009-07-07 18:38:08

I like the "Hybrid Controls" term though

mgroves 2009-07-07 18:39:50

You can like it, but what if nobody else uses it?

John Saunders 2009-07-07 18:44:43

*shrug*...just seems like a good term is all...

mgroves 2009-07-07 18:49:06

Never heard the Hybrid Controls either, but it is a good term. Don't think I'll "switch" from saying HTML Controls though.

Answer 3

A:

You could set a property on the page codebehind, the access the property on the page

public class MyPage
{
    public string InputDefaultContent { get; set; }

    private void Page_Load(object s, EventArgs e)
    {
        InputDefaultContent = "Blah";
    }
}

then on the page

<input type="text" value="<%= InputDefaultContent %>" />
