Viewstate and dynamicly added controls

Hi im creating a (or is starting but need your advise) search page for some
products which has surdden charataristicas which all should be serachable.
These charataristicas can be added runtime so to say and the charataristicas
is stored in the database where they are decribed eg. The charataristicas is
a Textbox, width=20 and so on.

Therefore I need to dynamically add controls to my search page according to
the database. But how will viewstate "handle" this. I guess i have to
rebuild the page structure on every postback, correct?

But will this rebuild destroy the state of the controls that i added on last
postback? If yes, what do I do then? Is it "impossible ".

I really appriciate your help and thougts on this. Thanks!

It's all about timing. If you re-recreate the controls (and yes, you are
correct, you must rebuild on postback) before the LoadViewState event. In
other words, if you rebuild your control's in the Page's Init event, the
state will be maintained.

You should really check out (free)
http://www.denisbauer.com/ASPNETCont...aceholder.aspx
which automatically rebuilds the controls for you. It sounds like you might
have quite a few, and this might be the easiest way to manage them.

I have a page that uses an in-place editable DataGrid that supports sorting and paging. EnableViewState is turned ON. At the top of the page are several search fields that allow the user to filter the results in the grid. Say you filter the grid for records that have a certain condition set to "NO" (in this case a checkbox). In this scenario the search returns one result. If I then check the checkbox ("YES") and save it, I now get my message...

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,...
