Read from textbox created programitically

[dmarkus100]

Here is my code to programitically create a textbox on the fly

Dim a1_box As New TextBox
Me.Controls.Add(a1_box)

In another method I need to read the value entered by the user, but, a1_box is not a know item.

Thanks for your help

Give the control a Name and you can find it by Me.Controls("thename").

Thanks but I don't understand what you mean. Is the name nor already there?
