The link has good discussion about the post back topic. But I am not in favor of abusing the disabled textbox value via JS. Please see my answer.

I don't think you want to use Enabled as false. The purpose of enabled property is to have it available or not.

And if you have enabled as false, why do you want to abuse the property just because you can do it with some sort of client side script.

I would suggest to used ReadOnly property if you want to block the access of textbox by user.

Or you can also take help of Css to make it look like disabled/readonly.

you are right in your thinking, But i am setting its value on another check box checked changed
so when it is checked, this text box value should be 1 else it should be false

Hi,
You can use jquery insted. First of all in docun=ment.ready method, make textbox enable false so when page is postback it will remain enable false.
