Repost : Viewstate being maintained second time around

[John]

Hi all,

I have a problem with viewstate being maintained. I use LoadControl to load
a user control and the data is sent down to the client correctly. However,
when I change some data and post it, the viewstate does not seem to load for
the user control upon sending it back down to the client. If I change the
data again, then the viewstate DOES seem to be maintained.

What gives?

John -
I had quite a bit of trouble getting a usercontrol to work when the
usercontrol included webcontrols that I wanted to interact with the
parent.
The best way I found to work is to drag the usercontrol onto the
parent, then toggle the visible property, rather than using
LoadControl.
My web page is in GridLayout, so I programmaticall y move it to
position when it's changed to visible = true.
I also found that ViewState wasn't working. I found an usercontrol
example that showed removing the OnInit() function in the usercontrol
and replacing it with
public void Page_Init(objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{
InitializeCompo nent();
}
** I'm not sure why the example used this method. It seems like you
could just remove the base.OnInit(e) for the Designer generated code,
but I didn't try that.

Then, in the parent, add

this.Init += new System.EventHan dler(this.ctlAd dNewRule.Page_I nit);
(** Mine is in C#, I'm not sure how to do it in VB)

I have this usercontrol on several pages, and it is working
consistently.
