Get value from input html in codebehind c#

Question

I did some research and found out how I can read a value from the input html textbox.

This worked fine for me, but at once it doesn't work.

This is my code, it input html returns null

<input type="text" name="inpNickname" placeholder="Nickname" data-placement="right" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Nickname" id="txtNickname" runat="server"/>

<input type="text" name="inpPassword" placeholder="Password" data-placement="right" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Password" id="txtPassword" runat="server"/>

string Nickname = Request.Form["inpNickname"];
string Password = Request.Form["inpPassword"];

If I change the Request.Form[] to the ID's, it still doesn't work.

Answer 1

Since it is running at the server...

txtNickname.Value and txtPassword.Value will give you what you need.

When you specify runat="server" you are essentially giving a property to your codebehind class. So you can access that property and it's properties directly.
