textbox in usercontrol looses value on postback

[lamy]

i have a usercontrol with a textbox control in it, im trying to make a "Text" property for it with both get and set, setting a value isnt a problem but somehow i cant manage to retain the value of the textbox as it postback

 

   <Bindable(True), Category("Appearance"), DefaultValue("")> _
   Public Property Text() As String
       Get
           Dim obj As Object = ViewState("Text")
           If Not (obj Is Nothing) Then
               Return CType(obj, String)
           Else
               Return String.Empty
           End If
       End Get
       Set(ByVal value As String)
           ViewState("Text") = value
       End Set
   End Property

 

doing this wont work if i typed-in anything and submit the form

  MyLabel.Text = MyControl.Text

 

anyone? :confused:

found the problem, my control in my web form has ReadOnly set to True (was hoping itll still pass the value since HTML form doesnt pass values only when its disabled)

 

any workaround for this?
