Get the value of a textbox in codebehind (declared using HTML in an asp.net page)

Question

I want to get the value of my input tag into my C#.

     <div id="datetimepicker2" class="input-append">
            <input data-format="MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss PP" type="text"></input>
            <span class="add-on">
              <i data-time-icon="icon-time" data-date-icon="icon-calendar">
              </i>
            </span>
    </div>// what should we use here?

The value is set by the user of the page.

The easiest way rather than pulling from form collections values from HTML controls, is to attribute that control with `runat="server"` and `ID="Input1"`. This makes it then a server control. Then server side it is trivial to get the value: `string textValue = this.Input1.Value;` — atconway, Mar 04 '14 at 18:56

I did't understand which control value you want to get. But If you want to get input element value into the code behind, you need to set runat="server" attribute, because this is a simple html element not a Asp control.

Add runat="server" and id="your_id" and you should have access to them.

for example:

<input type="text" value="Username" class="input-text autoclear" 
   runat="server" id="myTextBox" />

than you can simply get value of input box like this:

string myStringFromTheInput = myTextBox.Value;

Try this

Add name for your input type

 <input data-format="MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss PP" name="txtBox1" type="text"></input>

and try this way for get value in codebehind

string value=Request.Form["txtBox1"];

You can access all your submitted form data at server side by looking into the form Request object.

Ex. Request.Form["txtDate"] OR Request["txtDate"].

Naming the html elements makes easier to look into form collection for specified element.

If what you posted is your actual code, you have an extra space in your closing tag

</asp: TextBox>

Should be

</asp:TextBox>

and then txt_todata.text should work
