ViewState chaos

[the friendly display name]

Following problem:

I have on the page one (graphic-)button (its click even is wired), some
other stuff and of course the page_load function

Page_Load function has the following entry:

{
if (!Page.IsPostBa ck)
{
counttextboxes = 0;
ViewState.Add(" counttextboxes" , counttextboxes) ;

}

counttextboxes = (int) ViewState["counttextboxes "];
Label1.Text = counttextboxes. ToString();

}

ImageButton1_Cl ick has:

{

counttextboxes = (int) ViewState["counttextboxes "];
counttextboxes+ +;
ViewState.Add(" counttextboxes" , counttextboxes) ;
Label2.Text = Convert.ToStrin g(counttextboxe s);

}
as you guessed, the problem is counttextboxes (an int, declared as protected
in the class).

If I click on the first button, thus activating button1_click,
counttextboxes gets indeed bigger. But on page_load (when I test it) it is
always one number smaller than it's on Imagebutton1_cl ick.
If Label1 displays 5, label2 displays 6.
How to even them up? _Without_ this method on page load by the way:

if (Convert.ToBool ean(counttextbo xes))
counttextboxes = counttextboxes + 1;

Thank you for your time.

Page_Load executes before control events execute. So, you are displaying
the value of the counttextboxes value before you are incrementing it in the
click event.
