I am testing for how/when a page is posted back and I decided to use a
ViewState variable in PageLoad to set up a counter, but it appears,
the ViewState is cleared on each PageLoad. So then I used SESSION and
that worked.
Am I correct in assuming ViewState is cleared on each PageLoad or is my
code incorrect.
VIEWSTATE
If IsNothing(ViewS tate("PbCounter ")) Then
ViewState("PBCo unter") = 1
Else
ViewState("PBCo unter") = Session("PBCoun ter") + 1
End If
SESSION
If IsNothing(Sessi on("PbCounter") ) Then
Session("PBCoun ter") = 1
Else
Session("PBCoun ter") = Session("PBCoun ter") + 1
End If
Response.write( ViewState("PBCo unter").tostrin g) ALWAYS ONE
Response.write( Session("PBCoun ter").tostring ) INCREMENTS CORRECTLY
Thanks - Richard

If this is really your code, then you are putting an empty Session
variable into the Viewstate.
VIEWSTATE
If IsNothing(ViewS tate("PbCounter ")) Then
ViewState("PBCo unter") = 1
Else
ViewState("PBCo unter") = Session("PBCoun ter") + 1 <<<<<<<
HERE
End If
Sorry Typo - with cut and paste, no it was correct in the actual code.
I did viewstate first and when it did not work I then changed it to
session.
ViewState is stored in a Page, and passed back and forth to the client via a
hidden form field. Session is stored in Server memory. Therefore, ViewState
is scoped to a Page, but only to the Page after PostBack, not when it is
initially loaded. Session State is scoped to a single user Session, and
transcends Pages.

Eh?
On first page request you should be able to add custom values.
On postback you should be able to obtain it again.
Am i missing something here, i believe i thave tested this a while ago.
Of course a viewstate is bounded to a page but that could be welcome.
+ when using a master page you could tag stuff to multiple 'pages' (imo)

Yes, you can add values to it initially, but it is not stored. It is stored
in a hidden form field, which, when the page Posts Back, re-creates the
ViewState object from the field contents. In other words, if you add
something to a Page's ViewState, and navigate back to the same Page by any
means other then a PostBack, the ViewState will be empty.

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 ?

I create a variable number of controls at runtime based on parameters from a
