how I have replace asp text box with html input text in aspx page, after which I am not getting the value

Answer 1

To get html input value in the code-behind, first take input as follows:

<input type="text" runat="server" id="Details" value= '<%# Eval("Details") %>' />

Then in the code-behind, use the following:

string details = ((HtmlInputText)row.FindControl("Details")).Value;

By the way, without controls, you can use the following for html inputs:

string details = Request.Form["Details"];

In that case, you should add a name attribute with the name Details .

Answer 2

To access any html input in your code behind, you must add runat="server" attribute for the control. Like below.

<input type="text" name="txtFName" id="txtFName" runat="server" />
