This isn't necessarily simple or even the way to go (using the PageList control, that is). If you remember the asp.net page lifecycle controls have to be recreated before the Load event to have their values set from the posted values/viewstate. Moreover, the controls have to have identical ID:s/places in the control tree.

Also, you are enumerating over pagelists inside your pagelist, which there are probably none?

I think the asp.net GridView control is better suited for what you are trying to accomplish. You'll find countless examples of using that out there on the web.

Hi,
Thanks for the Reply.

To get this solved I am using the Dictionary Object .I have added the HiddenField in the episerver PageList.

<EPiServer:PageList runat="server" ID="productList" >
   <td>Määrä<asp:TextBox ID="txtAmount" runat="server" value="<%# GetTxtValue(Container.CurrentPage.PageLink) %>" ></asp:TextBox>
   <asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID ="txtAmountH" value="<%# Container.CurrentPage.PageLink %>" />
</EPiServer:PageList>

I am getting the list of both the textbox as well as hiddenField from the Blog solution given by Anders. :)

foreach (HiddenField hiddenf in hiddenList)
   {
       string ID = hiddenf.ClientID;
       ID = ID.Replace("txtAmountH", "txtAmount");
       var TxtBox = from item in boxes
                   where item.ClientID == ID
                   select item;
       if (null != TxtBox)
           dList.Add(hiddenf.Value.ToString(), Convert.ToInt32((TxtBox.First() as TextBox).Text));
   }

and then I an using this Dictionary object to get the values.

}
