how to convert System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputText value into string

Question

Hi I want to convert System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputText value into string.

Actually I am using authentication function in which i am using HTML controls :

private void Authenticate_User(System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputText username, System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputText password)
  {
//-- doing some code here & Save credentials into cookies.
  }

*Now I am check above function on page_load :*

 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string userid = Request.Cookies["UserDetails"]["UserName"].ToString();
string pass = Request.Cookies["UserDetails"]["Password"].ToString();

Authenticate_User(userid, pass);  //---- It gives some conversation error (HTML contorl to string )

}

Any suggestion regarding.

Ya, I know! but I was using: Authenticate_User(userid, pass) many times in the project & its really hard to change the code. Any method to type cast string into htmlinput. — John

there are two ways of doing it

Method 1:

change the parameter type of Authenticate_User(System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputText username, System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputText password) to private void Authenticate_User(String username, String password)

of if you want to typecase string to htmlinput then use this

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string userid = Request.Cookies["UserDetails"]["UserName"].ToString();
    string pass = Request.Cookies["UserDetails"]["Password"].ToString();

    Authenticate_User(new System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputText() {Value=userid, Size=userid.Length }, new System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputText() {Value=pass, Size=pass.Length });
};

try the following

private void Authenticate_User(System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputText username, System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputText password)
  {
 String _username= username.Value;
 String _pass=password.Value;
//-- doing some code here & Save credentials into cookies.
  }

to cast you need to make a new object

HtmlInputText obj=new HtmlInputText();
obj.Value="";
