Yeah... I wrote an example up before seeing Jimi's example.
But here is mine... Same bat time, same bat channel.

..cs code behind:

{
get
{
if (ViewState["SelectedRecordID"] != null)
return Convert.ToInt32(ViewState["SelectedRecordID"]);
else
return -1;
}
set
{
ViewState["SelectedRecordID"] = value;
}
}
private void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
int whatsMyValue = this.SelectedRecordID;
this.SelectedRecordID = int.Parse(this.TextBox1.Text);
this.Button1.Visible = false;
this.Button2.Visible = true;
}
private void Button2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
int whatsMyValue = this.SelectedRecordID;
this.SelectedRecordID = int.Parse(this.TextBox1.Text);
}
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// Put user code to initialize the page here
if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
this.SelectedRecordID = -999; // use -999 for the PageLoad
}
}
