I'm reading the section "Postbacks and Round Trips" in the Visual Studio
2005 Help (I use VB.NET). Amongst other things, it says that as a result of
a postback "On the Web server, the page runs again. The information that the
user typed or selected is available to the page."
I can set this up in a test project and see that it occurs ... ie: my text
boxes retain their data (ie: "Hello world") even when a postback occurs on
the same or another server control.
If as a result of a postback the web page gets re-rendered at the server,
then how does the text in my textbox (or data in any other sort of server
control) get maintained? I would have thought that if the web-page gets
rebuilt from scratch, any data in controls would be lost.
Can someone explain how this works?
Thanks,
Tom Edelbrok

There was no way for you to know it (except maybe by browsing through some
of the previous questions before posting yours - always a recommended
practice), but this is a classic asp newsgroup.
While you may be lucky enough to find a dotnet-knowledgeable person here who
can answer your question, you can eliminate the luck factor by posting your
question to a group where those dotnet-knowledgeable people hang out. I
suggest microsoft.publi c.dotnet.framew ork.aspnet.

Look up ViewState in the online help.

When the control is recreated it gets the value from the data sent from the
form.
Controls also store some stuff in ViewState to maintain it across postbacks. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

What's the generally accepted approach for using Styles and Stylesheets in a

I'm new to the world of sockets, and this question is not VB specific:
If multiple clients access the same server on the same port, and the server
is set up to do some async communication, does the server's response back to
all the clients on that port, or just to the one who sent the request?
In other words:

Sometimes I find myself stumbling over Python issues which have to do
with what I perceive as a lack of orthogonality.
For instance, I just wanted to use the index() method on a tuple which
does not work. It only works on lists and strings, for no obvious
reason. Why not on all sequence types?
Or, another example, the index() method has start and end parameters for
lists and strings. The count() method also has start and end parameters...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
