Hi guys.
Mi Asp.Net page creates some textboxes on load depending from records it retrieves from a db. Here is a simplified version (actually I used more control even some of Microsoft.Web.Ui.WebControls assembly):

Code: 
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
            If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
            dbConn.ConnectionString = Application("ConnectionString")
            dbConn.Open()
            Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("select content from textboxes where page = 'home' order by presentation_order", dbConn)
            Dim myReader As SqlDataReader
            myReader = cmd.ExecuteReader()
            While myReader.Read()
                counter = counter + 1
                Dim txtContent As New TextBox()
                txtContent.ID = "txtContent" & counter
                txtContent.TextMode = TextBoxMode.MultiLine
                txtContent.Text = myReader.GetString(0)
                txtContent.Height = a.Percentage(98)
                txtContent.Width = a.Percentage(100)
                MyBase.Controls.Add(txtContent)
            End While
            myReader.Close()
            dbConn.Close()
End Sub

I'd like to know how can I retrieve data from one of the textboxes, and how can I save modified data from all of them into the database. I need to do it by pressing a button, but I don't know how I can.
Please help me.
Thanks a lot.

If you store all the textboxes in an array or collection so you have references to them, then you should be able to access their .Text property, no?
