Trouble getting Value out of DynamicPopulate Populated Control

Hi:

I'm using a combination of AutoComplete and DynamicPopulate out of the AJAX Toolkit. The AutoComplete polls my Active Directory, then sends the selected name to the DynamicPopulate control. The DP control then sends me back an email address. Since the DP control will not populate a textbox's "Text" value, I decided to use a label. The label populates properly on the page, however, when I try to pull the value through my code, the label's text value is "". All population using the DP is done before the call for the values. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The label is being populated after the page loads; ASP.NET is a server side language, since the page hasnt posted back to the server yet, your code still thinks the value is empty.

Thanks for your reply. I understand why I can't get the value out, and I'm trying to prevent a postback, however, is there any possible other way to get these values out? I've tried a javascript "hacky" way to get the value into an HTML control, then finding the control to get it's value, but that's proving to be quite a feat in itself. Any suggestions?

Here's the set up:

I have a web service with two methods. One goes to my Active Directory and does AutoComplete on the name. Onblur, it calls the other method which takes the text in the AutoComplete text box and sends it back through the directory, which then returns the email address. A DynamicPopulate control populates a label (which is going to be hidden) in order for me to grab the email address. My structure is lenient, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

John

I'm having somewhat the same problem!

I use the DynamicPopulateextender to populate at Panel with information from a webservice. It works just fine but now i want to fetch the info and save it. If u get it to work, please tell me :)
