ViewState Not Maintained In Refresh

batista

Hello,

I have a web page, which is being refresh after every
30 secs.Now, there is also a datagrid in it, which i bind
in the pageload event.
Now the problem is when the page is refresh after 30 secs
the datagrid loses it's values.
I mean it does not maintain it's viewstate.

Why is it?

Is it bcuz refresh is not the same as Postback.
buz in postback viewstate is miantained.

Cheers...

When you refresh, you are calling the page via a GET, not a POST. Postback
events are POST (the form is posting (sending info) to the server).So, yes,
the viewstate is rebuilt as there is no POST event to send the viewstate
contents to the server.

NOTE: Viewstate is a hidden, encrypted tag in your page. It is not some form
of magic.

Possible solutions:

1. Post everytime a user changes anything (this could get heavy)
2. Use Ajax (Asynch JavaScript and XML) to update the data without a full
page refresh

Since you are refreshing at a rather rapid rate, you may still end up with a
situation where the user changes something and it is not reflected. Thus, one
other solution:

3. Change from meta refresh to a JavaScript POST refresh.

Before doing anything, ask if the 30 second automatic refresh is a mandatory
part of your application.

Failed to load ViewState

by: John Kirksey | last post by:

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...

Viewstate only being maintained second time around

by: John | last post by:

Hi all, I have a problem with viewstate being maintained. I use LoadControl to load a user control and the data is sent down to the client correctly. However, when I change some data and post it, the viewstate does not seem to load for the user control upon sending it back down to the client. If I change the data again, then the viewstate DOES seem to be maintained. What gives?

ViewState Questions

by: neo | last post by:

hi, I am studying ASP.NET and have few questions - 1) The session ID and values of controls is stored in VIEWSTATE variable. So now when we put EnableViewState="false" in Page directive and disable the session state in Web.Config the VIEWSTATE variable is still maintained and stores some values. Can anyone tell what those values are for, i.e what other info is stored in VIEWSTATE other than the session ID and the control values ?

by: Prodip Saha | last post by:

I am sure there is an easy fix for this problem. I am reloading the same page at an interval using the meta refresh tag in aspx page. This page has one textbox and one button. The problem is -when the page get posted back to the server the value of the textbox is gone. How do I preserve the value of the textbox that I entered in it? I don't want to use Cache/Session to keep track of the value. That's not an option. Thanks for your...

difference between refreshing a page, postback and viewstate

by: Dan | last post by:

Hi, i'm not sure to understand the difference between refreshing the pagina by clicking on 'refresh' in the browser and a postback. What i think it is: Suppose a page with a form containing a textbox and a dropdowlist: and a button to start something n code-behind: a refresh doesn't send any value back to the server but with a postback, the values are sent? But then, which role does Viewstate play in the postback proces?

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
