title: TELERIK/ASP.NET - Cannot retrieve textbox text, from code behind
body: <p>I have a Telerik:RadTextBox control in my markup called txtName. I'm trying to retrieve the inputed value in the code behind with <code>foo = txtName.Text;</code> but var and txtName always show an empty string.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Markup</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;telerik:RadTextBox ID="txtName" Runat="server" Width="300px" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>CodeBehind</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>campaign.Name = txtName.Text.Trim();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I guess the code couldn't be easier. Basically what's happening is, when I click my 'save' button, there's a postback and the text in the RadTextBox just disappears.</p>
  
  <p><strong>update</strong><br />
  Found the problem. My web.config file had a different version of the Telerik dll file that was actually in my bin folder.</p>
