Newbie:Access custom Itemplate(not datagrid/repeater/datalist) control values on postback
Hi,
I have simple Itemplate implementation with 2 textboxes and button.
On postback I would like to access values entered by user in the textbox controls.
The Itemplate sample below has two text boxes for first name and last name. There is Ok button that will do process first name and last name entered by the user.
Thanks,
Luhar
