Accessing form elements from @code in Blazor

[PSCRIMS]

I could not find in EditForm validation for phone number so I am trying to get the value entered in a ediform trapping the onsubmit and checking the value. At this point I haven't made the onsubmit procedure async, I was intending to call an async procedure after validating the contents (that it had 10 digits after being cleaned. Not much to check the number exists but at least a start) The code in the function does not recognize the form variable.

<- does it have to be an async function?

Enter your phone number:

... @code { private AllFieldsModel srcfields = new AllFieldsModel(); private string testPhone = ""; private void CheckData() { private string str= ""; str = @srcfields.CustPhone; <-- does not recognize neither srcfields nor CustPhone ... I have been trying to get an answer on stackoverflow with no avail... --- #### Document Details ⚠ *Do not edit this section.

left out the next line where I bind the value <InputText id="phone" @bind-Value="srcfields.CustPhone" />

<InputText id="phone" @bind-Value="srcfields.CustPhone" />

Sorry, not "fluent" on opening an issue

Hello @PSCRIMS ... I wish I could help, but I'm ⛰️⛏️🏃😅 swamped with work for the next few weeks and then taking an extended three-week vacation 🏖️. I won't be able to look at general support requests, unless perhaps they are for WASM security, until early 2021. I recommend that you continue to ask for community support. Again, I'm sorry that I can't address your issue, but this does look like a general programming problem and not something actionable for docs. Continue with SO and for immediate chat assistance, try Slack or Gitter for Blazor ...

• ASP.NET Core Slack ... this is a general ASP.NET Core Slack, but Blazor :cat2: are around to help. There are specific Blazor Slack teams around, too.
• ASP.NET Gitter ... this is a specific Gitter chat for Blazor. That's all they do there 24/7/365 is talk about Blazor, so you should be able to get help.

If you find a doc missing a clear gotcha, then it does become actionable. Either leave a comment here with what the topic is missing (I'll re-open this issue) or open a new issue with the This page feedback form on the topic.
