I have an textbox that is populated by my html editor the display is a lable so that the users can only do the updates through the html editor(I don't want them to mess up the code.). The code also has a hidden field that is responsible for binding of the data. Updates seem to be ignoring the information saved in the bound control.

There are the fields in the edit template in the custom control.

Hi,

Do you change the value of the <input type="hidden"> at client side (the <input> tag is rendered by the HiddenField control)? If so I think it should work.

Yes, and I solved it. I had the need to manually update the information in the oninserting event of the datasource. I also realized that I had hardcoded the value "Bio" in the field so it was a matter of changing the Bind statment to an Eval(this.Column.name) statement to make it a more generic solution, but that is another story.
