Menu
I have the following html:
<html>
<body>
<form runat="server">
Name: <input type="text" name="name" />
<br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
How do I retrieve the value in the "name" textbox posted back to the webserver to manipulate in ASP.NET WebForms?
(I know about the ASP.NET built-in controls and the possibilities with them, but I am looking for a "clean" solution without the use of built-in ASP.NET controls)

If you can't, or don't want to use asp.net textboxes, then you can retrieve the name of a regular html textbox like this:
string nameTextPosted = Request.Form["name"];
Just note that textboxes created in this manner will not automatically persist their values across postbacks like asp.net textboxes will.

Simplest solution would be to turn it into a server-side component and access it by it's name. e.g.
<asp:TextBox Id="Name" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
...
string name = Name.Text;
Unless you have other reasons not to use a component, you'd only be making things much more difficult on your part for no justification.
