How to copy the content of a textbox with a button click?

Hi, i use Visual Web Developer 2005 express with Visual Basic and asp.net. I have a formView with a textbox and a button, i want to be able to copy the content of the textbox clicking on the button to paste the content in somewhere else.

Any one can help me with the code?

<asp:FormView ID="FormView1" runat="server" CellPadding="4" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"
ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="Both">
<FooterStyle BackColor="#5D7B9D" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<EditRowStyle BackColor="#999999" />
<RowStyle BackColor="#F7F6F3" ForeColor="#333333" />
<PagerStyle BackColor="#284775" ForeColor="White" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
<ItemTemplate>
<table style="width: 561px; height: 85px" border="1" bordercolor="gainsboro">
<tr>
<td style="width: 156px; text-align: left;">
<asp:Label ID="Label3" runat="server" Font-Bold="True" Font-Names="Arial" Font-Size="Small"
Text="Test:"></asp:Label></td>
<td style="width: 302px">
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("ed_order_number", "{0}") %>'
Width="250px"></asp:TextBox></td>
<td style="width: 54px; text-align: center;">
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Copy" OnClick="Button1_Click" /></td>
</tr>

</table>
</ItemTemplate>
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#5D7B9D" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White" />
<HeaderTemplate>
<table style="width: 401px; height: 67px">
<tr>
<td colspan="3" rowspan="3" style="height: 34px">
<asp:Label ID="Label37" runat="server" Font-Bold="True" Font-Names="Arial" Font-Size="Medium"
Text="Order Details"></asp:Label></td>
</tr>
<tr>
</tr>
<tr>
</tr>
</table>
</HeaderTemplate>
</asp:FormView>

Are you looking for something like this?

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){TextBox TextBox1 = FormView1.FindControl("TextBox1")as TextBox;if (TextBox1 ==null) {return; }string value = TextBox1.Text;// Do what you want with value here}

I need to simulate the Ctrl + C function on the button to copy the content of the textbox, and after paste it in somewhere else.

Hi there,

Have a look at this forum with a working examplehttp://forums.asp.net/t/1047507.aspx

I use Visual basic not C Sharp.

The code is all Javascript though
