ASP.NET Control not passing through updated string to code behind

Question

I have a bit of an issue I hope you guys can give me a bit of help with.

I have an ASP.NET textbox control. In my code behind I throw text in there with

txtTextbox.Text = variable;

Variable being a value I get from a database in earlier lines of code.

So after this, when I edit the text in that text box, in the button click event handler I get the new value with

string variable = txtTextbox.Text;

The issue is, now this 'new' value is just giving me the original value I placed in the textbox. Not the one I eddited in my application.

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.
