TextBox Constructor

  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly:
System.Web.dll

Initializes a new instance of the TextBox class.

public:
 TextBox();
public TextBox ();
Public Sub New ()

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the TextBox constructor to dynamically add a TextBox control to the page.

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.
