What part of the error message do you not understand? It is quite clear.
You are attempting to cast an object of type LiteralControl into a TextBox.
Plain and simple, you can't do that. What you can do is set the TextBox text value from the LiteralControl text value which would be allowed.
If that doesn't help, please post the relevant code which is causing you difficulty so that we can help you further.
Cheers.
