I have a C# Web application that has 1 Web form that has 2 command buttons on
it with a label for output. I have a form level variable declared String
strName = "Jim"; right below where the buttons are declared by the form
designer. I have two event methods for my 2 command buttons. In the
Button1_Click event method I change the value of the form level variable
strName = "Kevin";. In the second event method, Button2_Click I check to see
if strName == "Jim", if so the label displays "failure", but if strName ==
"Kevin" the label displays "success".
Now, when I click on Button1, then click on Button2 the label displays
"failure". Why is my form level variable getting cleared out on the post
back? I have three different applications that are showing the same
symptoms. Please, can somebody shed some light? 2 3633
Hi,
That is the inherent nature of Internet applications, they are stateless. So
whatever variables you're setting at the form level, are recreated at each
postbacks with default values. If you need the variable to persist across
postbacks, consider adding it to Viewstate so that you can retrieve it
later.

That's just how it works.
If you want to store values between postbacks you need to store the value
manually.
In this case it sounds like you want a page scoped variable, so ViewState
would likely be your best option.
In Button1's click event put code like this:
ViewState("Name ")="Jim"
Then in button2's event put code like this:
If ViewState("Name ").ToString = "Kevin" then 'display success
You could use Session scope (with similar syntax) if you'd like this value
to be visible to other pages for that user.

Hi,
While coding programs, I cam about a conundrum regarding
variables defined in an iterative loop.
The issue is whether it is more efficient to factor the
definition out of the loop or maintain encapsulation by
leaving it inside the loop?

I have the following code which works just fine in IE6 but not in

It is an extract of several table rows each with an individual form.
It is generated by php.

I know I can open many instances of a given form, but I've never done it.
Now I'm analyzing an application where that seems like just the ticket: Many
investment funds, *lots* of data points for each fund, and a desire by the users
to see several funds presented side-by-side.
Is opening, say, five instances of the same form real-world-doable?

Hi all !
VB.NET adds the ability to create variables that are visible only within
a block. A block is any section of code that ends with one of the words
End , Loop , or Next . This
means that For...Next and If...End If blocks can have their own
variables.

Good evening all,
I'm a relatively new to javascript, but I've been working with
ColdFusion and PHP for years so I'm not necessarily ignorant, just
stuck and frustrated. Using ColdFusion I'm using an include to pull in
form elements (text fields, checkboxes, etc...) multiple times on a
single page.
The included page does not have a form tag of it's own, but the root
page has uniquely named forms for validation. Imagine it like this:
