Examples

A Visual Studio Web site project with source code is available to accompany this topic: Download.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the TextBox control to get user input. When the user clicks the Add button, the sum of the values entered in the text boxes is displayed.

Important

This example has a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview.

Remarks

Use the MaxLength property to limit the number of characters that can be entered in the TextBox control.

Note

This property is applicable only when the TextMode property is set to TextBoxMode.SingleLine or TextBoxMode.Password.

This property cannot be set by themes or style sheet themes. For more information, see ThemeableAttribute and ASP.NET Themes and Skins.
