add value to textbox

[joecool2005]

Hi,On the code below how can I add the lname value to my textbox?Thx

<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="dataListVB.aspx.vb" Inherits="dataListVB" %><%Dim lname As String = "Smith"%><FORM NAME="Form" METHOD="POST" runat=server><asp:TextBox id="LastName" runat="server" /></FORM>

<%Dim lname As String = "Smith"LastName.Text = lname%>

In C#:

LastName.Text = lname;

By doing this it changes the value of the textbox but it will not display on the textbox. Is it possible to display it inside the textbox?

<asp:TextBox id="LastName" runat="server" /> <% Dim lname As String = "Smith" LastName.Text = lname%>

using ASP style tags is not a good practiceeither use codebehind or at the very least do this

<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="dataListVB.aspx.vb" Inherits="dataListVB" %><script runat="server">void Page_Load(){  Dim lname As String = "Smith"  LastName.Text = lname}</script><FORM NAME="Form" METHOD="POST" runat=server><asp:TextBox id="LastName" runat="server" /></FORM>
