Diff Between Textbox.value and Textbox.Text?

Vinay Singh · Answer

When you add properties that don't exists in the TextBox class, asp.net will render those properties to the resulting html. So runat = "server" ID = "Name" text = "bbbb" mycustomproperty = "hi" /> Will render to something like this type = "text" value = "bbbb" id = "..." name = "..." mycustomproperty = "hi" /> If you omit the TextBox 's Text property and write the value property, then the value property will be rendered. runat = "server" ID = "Name" value = "aaaa" /> To type = "text" value = "aaaa" id = "..." name = "..." /> TextBox doesn't has a Value property. When the TextBox instance is created, the HTML value property will be assigned to the Text property, and that's why you access the Text property it has the "aaaa" value. Summary: Don't use value property when you use ASP.NET controls. Use the controls specific properties.
