ASP.NET Mobile TextBox Control
Complete ASP.NET Mobile Reference
Definition and Usage
The TextBox control is used to create a single-line input box on a mobile device.
The text can
be specified by the text attribute or as the content of the TextBox element. If
the text is specified in both ways, the inner text takes precedence. However, if
the text is programmatically set, the inner text is replaced with this text.
