Viewstate and runat=server forms

I've got a problem concerning Server.Execute and the viewstate. It's
not a ViewStateMacEna bled=false problem as it happens - less of a
problem and more a question of 'is it possible'. I've got a main aspx
page which houses the layout html, and executes another .aspx file
using Server.Execute, this is then fed to a writer and finally
Response.Write' n.

My problem comes when putting a <form runat="server"> inside the child
page (the one to be executed) and having a viewstate. ASP.NET replaces
the action attribute value in the form tag with its own one, changing
it to the original page that the form tag is in (the page that is
Server.Execute' d).

This can be easily rectified with Javascript, however when the
executed page is posted, the parent page receives the viewstate info
(I assume), and it does nothing with it, and the page that is being
Server.Execute' d doesn't receieve it either.

Both pages make use of code behinds.

Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? The only alternative I
can think of is to use webcontrols, but that would be a real overkill
for what is being used. I have tried wrapping a <form runat=server>
before the Server.Execute, but then compiler sees the child page as
having no form runat=server and a compile error happens.

Thanks,
--Chris

Hello, I am working on a page transition scheme and was wondering what the quickest way is to find out which ASP.NET controls need to be inside a form with runat=server. I've determined that asp:Label does not need to have the form runat=server and that asp:Textbox requires it. Thanks, Gar

Where is there a good article/description on why everything is runat=server. I just can't seem to grasp why ALL tags (even table tags) are runat server in dotnet. Thank You

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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