text box in Grid View footer row not giving correct text.

[Anglefroghammer]

Hi Guys,

I am having a problem getting some text from a textbox inside the footerrow of a gridview if it is changed. I can get the actual text box using

gridview1.footerrow.findcontrol("control name")

but it gives me whatever value it was set to on load and not the changed text.

Here is my asp code.

        <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" ShowFooter="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
            <Columns>
                <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Col1">
                    <EditItemTemplate>
                        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("DESC") %>'></asp:TextBox>
                    </EditItemTemplate>
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("DESC") %>'></asp:Label>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                    <FooterTemplate>
                        <asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="ChargeTypes" Width="100%">
                        </asp:DropDownList>
                    </FooterTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>
                <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Col2">
                    <EditItemTemplate>
                        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox3" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("StartDate") %>'></asp:TextBox>
                    </EditItemTemplate>
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:Label ID="Label3" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("StartDate") %>'></asp:Label>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                    <FooterTemplate>
                        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox4" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
                    </FooterTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>
                <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Col3">
                    <EditItemTemplate>
                        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("RetirementDate") %>'></asp:TextBox>
                    </EditItemTemplate>
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("RetirementDate") %>'></asp:Label>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                    <FooterTemplate>
                        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox6" runat="server" Text="test"></asp:TextBox>
                    </FooterTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>
                <asp:TemplateField ShowHeader="False">
                    <FooterTemplate>
                        <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" CausesValidation="false" CommandName="Add Row"
                            Text="Add"></asp:LinkButton></FooterTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>
            </Columns>
        </asp:GridView>
    </h2>
</asp:Content>

Any help would be great
