During the page cycle the setting of the postback textbox value is done
before Page_Load. So if you set value in the Page_Load event, that will
override the value that is set from the postback data.

Is there any particular reason why you want to initialize the textbox value
in Page_Load but not declaratively in the page itself or in Page_Init event?
