I have a text input field defined for a product, and I'm wondering how, in the code-behind file of the product.aspx page, I can access the value that a user has typed into this field.


I first thought to create a ProductChoiceInputBase object to iterate over the LocalProduct.ChoicesAndInputs collection, and then to cast that iterator into a ProductInput object so that I can get to the DefaultValue property.



However, it appears that the DefaultValue property doesn't correspond to what a user types into the field from the web page.



Is there another approach that I should take? Am I using the correct object types/properties?



Rick.



PS: Below is a code sample that currently is not working.





For Each currentChoice As Catalog.ProductChoiceInputBase In LocalProduct.ChoicesAndInputs
If currentChoice.Name = "ClientName1" Then
If CType(currentChoice, Catalog.ProductInput).DefaultValue.Trim().Length < 3 Then
MessageBox.ShowError("Please enter a valid name.")
args.IsValid = False
End If

End If
Next
