txtProduct_Number.Visible=false
 
Well, as far as I can see, the code you posted refers to txtProduct_Number
twice:
txtProduct_Number.Text =
oDS.Tables("product").Rows(0).Item("Product_Number")
and

<td style="width: 214px"><asp:textbox id="txtProduct_Number"
runat="server" Width="215px" /> </td>

I can't see any code in which you are trying to hide the TextBox...
 
txtProduct_Number.Visible=false
Click to expand...

That won't hide the textbox - it will actually stop it from even being
rendered and sent down to the client browser, which is not the same thing...
 
txtProduct_Number.Visible=false

This doesn't work...in fact the right code is

txtProduct_Number.Visible ="false"

but this doesn't work also!


The field Product_Number in my database is set to 'AUTO NUMBER'
and i dnt want it to be displayed when the page is running. The page
is meant for UPDATE of the Product and i don't want the administrator
to be able to change the product number as the Row must only be
Updated not Inserted!!!!
 
txtProduct_Number.Visible=false

txtProduct_Number.Visible ="false"

No it isn't. The Visible property of webcontrols accepts boolean values, not
string values...
but this doesn't work also!

So post the code where you are actually trying to hide this TextBox - you
still haven't done that...
 
the prob is that i don't know where to put the invisiblity of the
textbox Dear!!!!! I dnt kno if i must put it in th Sub or the 1st
Function or the 2nd Funcyion or the HTML code !!!!!
 
You could have set the text box to visible = false. Whilst it doesn't render
it, the content is still in the viewstate (if viewstate is still enabled for
the box). When the page posts back, you can still read its value, even
though it was not displayed.

Display the product number in an <asp: Label...>, not in a textbox,
if you don't want it to be editable.

You're quite welcome.

Sometimes the simplest things trip us.
It takes somebody else to see what eludes us.

Been there, done that! :-)

Put it anywhere you like - it hardly matters...

"><asp:textbox id="txtProduct_Number"
runat="server" Width="215px" />
Click to expand...

txtProduct_Number.Visible = False

or

asp:textbox id="txtProduct_Number" runat="server" Width="215px"
Visible="false" />
Dear!!!!!
Click to expand...

Dear...?
