In Beta2, there is a known bug that if you have TextBox set to ReadOnly property to true then in postback it looses its value meaning "" is being returned when postback happens. web application that I am trying to convert to .NET beta 2 has many TextBox that uses ReadOnly property and my application is now failing. Can someone provide me with good solution so I don't have to do whole lot of coding and also when Visual Studio 2005 is released I will have just less code to delete as well. I will really appreciate your help. Thanks, Dp |

Is it Just to stop the user from interacting with the control or what? I am only asking because you might be able to get away from using ReadOnly and perhaps look into the Enabled property if you just want the user not to be able to alter the text.
