[thelist] .NET - using variable as form field value

In the appropriate event handler, it would be something like:  (this one
crashes if EmpID doesn't hold something that looks like an integer)

  Dim intEmpID as integer = Cint(Me.txtEmpID.text)
  Me.hfEmpID.text = Cstr(intEmpID)

or, if you don't need the integer in your code-behind:

  Me.hfEmpID.text = Cstr(Cint(Me.txtEmpID.text))

or, more simply:  (disregarding validation issues completely)

  Me.hfEmpID.text = Me.txtEmpID.text

And, of course, the "Me." prefix can be implied

  hfEmpID.text = txtEmpID.text
