ASPX Textbox value unchanged if there is earlier data

I have an ASPX form with a TextBox object.

It is defined in the code behind as public TextBox UI_Delegate1; and in the ASPX form as <ASP:TextBox id="UI_Delegate1" runat="server" />

At the Page_Load member in the code behind, I make the assignment:

UI_Delegate.Text = "AnyText";

The rendered HTML text for this control is:

<input name="UI_Delegate1" type="text" value="AnyText" id="UI_Delegate1" />

Within the form, I have a button with this definition:

<button type="submit" onserverclick="SubmitChanges" runat="server">Submit Changes</button>

I then type text in the TextBox, to modify the "AnyText" value to some other text and then click the Submit Changes button, but the value of UI_Delegate1.Text in the code behind SubmitChanges member after clicking the button continues to be "AnyText", no matter what I type.

In other words, it seems that ASPX is considering this control as readonly, but I have not set such attribute anywhere.

What could be the possible reasons for this behaviour?

As @Yuriy said, make the following change in Page_Load:

if(!IsPostBack)
{
  UI_Delegate1.Text = "AnyText";
}
