here are my codes:





Dim txtItem As TextBox = New TextBox


txtItem.ID = ';txtItem'; %26amp; i


txtItem.Text = item


PlaceHolder_Item.Controls.Add(txtItem)





when retrieve :


Dim txtItem As TextBox = New TextBox


txtItem = PlaceHolder_Item.FindControl(';txtItem'; %26amp; i)

You should pay attention to PostBacks. Are you adding the controls again? This state management can be a pain...





Try referencing the control simply through its ID instead of using the FindControl() method of the PlaceHolder.
