Well, I glanced at it and have to say I have never tried this. I don't really like accessing form gui components from an outside source anyway, but I would suspect at a minimum your textbox would have to be publicly declard. I am not sure why in the web environment you would want the static page still around, but I supose there are instances this might make sense. If you are going to do this, it would be better to have a public property that can obtain the value of the textbox.

public string MyTextBoxValue
{
  get
  {
    return this.Textbox1.Text
  }
}
