Thanks for the followup Lee,
Yes, manually clear all the entry fields controls may cause the page code
become tight-coupled, but it'll be the most efficient way. Also, if you
want to make it more flexible, we can use the FindControl method to find
all the enty fields controls thorugh the control ID and reset their text
property, but this will be much less efficient.
Thanks,

| Hi,
|
| I see. The examples in ASP.NET Developing Server Controls & Components
| implement properties that persist via view state in the following way:
|
| public string Action
| {
| get
| {
| string action = (string)(ViewSt ate["Action"]);
| return action == null ? String.Empty : action;
| }
| set
| {
| ViewState["Action"] = value;
| }
| }
|
| So I assumed that I would be able to reset the state that a control
persists
| via view state by clearing view state, even in a click event (which I
| understand fires after view state has been restored).
|
| However, I guess most controls must do things differently; perhaps they
do
| something like:
|
| private string action;
|
| public string Action
| {
| get { return this.action; }
| set { this.action = value; }
| }
|
| protected override object SaveViewState()
| {
| return this.action;
| }
|
| protected override void LoadViewState(o bject savedState)
| {
| this.action = (string)savedSt ate;
| }
|
| Which would explain what's going on.
|
| So going back to my original problem, it looks like I will have to reset
my
| form manually, as you suggest, by resetting the object properties that I
care
| about. That's more code - and code that has to remain in sync with the
| controls on the page - but if there's no "reset my controls" silver
bullet,
| then I guess I have no choice.
|
| Thanks,
| - Lee
