Hi all,

Forgive this post - I'm very VERY new to Umbraco and I'm struggling with a custom web control that isn't saving it's data.

I've followed the advice here http://forum.umbraco.org/yaf_postst5944_Custom-datatype-usercontrol-wrapper-problem.aspx but to no avail.

I've created a web control that is simply a text box with a link button alongside it. The text box is set to ReadOnly, but some JQuery attached to link button removes that attribute and enables the field if the currently logged in user is a Adminstrator.

Everything seems to work fine, apart from the text box value doesn't get saved.

My code is here:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using umbraco.BusinessLogic;

namespace UmbracoModules.TextstringAdmin
{
    public partial class TextstringAdmin : System.Web.UI.UserControl, umbraco.editorControls.userControlGrapper.IUsercontrolDataEditor
    {
        #region Fields

        public string umbracoValue;

        #endregion

        #region Constructors

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (Page.IsPostBack)
            {
                value = txtTextstringAdminField.Text;   
            }
            else
            {
                txtTextstringAdminField.Text = umbracoValue;
            }
        }

        #endregion

        #region Methods

        private void txtTextstringAdminField_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            value = txtTextstringAdminField.Text;
        }

        #endregion

        #region Properties

        public object value
        {

            get
            {

                return umbracoValue;

            }

            set
            {

                umbracoValue = value.ToString();

            }

        }

        #endregion
    }
}

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Rich
