Bind only once (DropDownList)

I have a DropDownList on my Webform. This list is bounded to DataSet which
is populate from database.
When load the form, list is filled and all is OK. The problem is, that the
list is small (only 3 items), so I want to preserve the list by ViewState
(it is on), and want the list to be populated from database only first time
(when IsPostBack==fal se).
How to bind this control only once? I have 1 solution which I don't like:

If I don't use Page.DataBind() , but <each control>.DataBi nd(),
then can then do if(!IsPostBack) MyList1.DataBin d();
It works, but I don't like it, because I have a lot of controls on form.
Is there any other solution?

Please, help

I will treat your "Webform" stuff in any case.

I will treat it like the Viruses" that surround your post.

And I take pride in saying:

I am not an Idiot.

Good luck

if (!Page.IsPostBa ck)
{
// Load data from database and then call
DataBind();
}

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
