Did something change in 2.0 so that readonly text does not postback?

Yes:

is there a way to get around it?

Yes.


Instead of this:

<asp:TextBox ID="MyTextBox" runat="server" ReadOnly="True" />


do this:

<asp:TextBox ID="MyTextBox" runat="server" />


and in your code behind do this:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MyTextBox.Attributes.Add("readonly", "readonly");
}
