How can I detect that the user has modified the data on the page where
several textboxes, checkboxes and dropdownlist exist.

You can monitor events that tell you when these values change. Try the
TextChanged event for the TextBoxes and ComboBoxes, and the CheckChanged
event of the checkboxes.


hope that helps

I'm not sure how to do so, since the controls are added dynamically in
Protected Overrides Sub CreateChildControls()

with the added event to save the record i can find each textbox, but there
is no property for TextChanged. Or do you mean that I should fire this event
to the server, where i can handle it. But is this a good approach ? It looks
if the app will go back for the server each time some one modifies a field,
for what reason ?

Is this a Web or Windows app?

If it's a Web app you can add some client-side scripting if you do not want
to make a round trip to the server.

If it's a Windows app the TextBox has a TextChanged event that fires when
the text changes. In this event handler you can add code to do what you
want when the text changes.
