asp.net textox old value

[Nalaka]

Hi,
I need to get the old (original) value of a textbox control.

I have put code in the textbox_textChanged ....
I can get the new value ((texBoxControl) sender).text
but I need to know the old value....


is there a way to access the old value?


any help is appreciated.

Once a value has been changed you do not get the old value back unless you
save it somewhere. It's like saying can I go back to yesterday to get
something.

Nalaka as Jeff adviced.
Save it somwhere e.g in the session,viewstate

Thanks for all your inputs.

Hi Nalaka,

As other members have mentioned, since the TextBox control doesn't store
old value by default, we may need to maually store this value in some
storage ourselves. In addition, if you need to use such textboxes in many
different projects, you can consider creating a custom textbox control
derived from the built-in textbox.
