Hello all!
I'm creating a web site in ASP.NET (VB.NET). One of the requirements was to
allow users to create orders going through several steps. A must have is to
have an option to save the work in any phase (any step) and to be able to
continue later.
My idea was to create several pages as steps (no, wizard control is not
suitable for several reasons) and to allow users to save any step to the
database, that is, a ViewState of the page (and page id) to the database.
I created a special Page class that overrides
LoadPageStateFr omPersistenceMe dium, SavePageStateTo PersistenceMedi um,
DeterminePostBa ckMode. Saving works great! The loading part sucks.
I have one textbox control for testing and cannot load text to it from saved
viewstate no matter what. Need help, big time.
Thanks!
Here's the code from my special Page class:
Imports Microsoft.Visua lBasic
Public Class SaveStatePage
Inherits System.Web.UI.P age
Public MeSave As Boolean
Protected Overrides Function LoadPageStateFr omPersistenceMe dium() As
Object
If Me.Request.Quer yString("IDsess ion") <> "" Then
Return Me.LoadSession( )
Else
Return MyBase.LoadPage StateFromPersis tenceMedium()
End If
End Function
Protected Overrides Sub SavePageStateTo PersistenceMedi um(ByVal state As
Object)
If MeSave Then Me.SavePage(sta te)
MyBase.SavePage StateToPersiste nceMedium(state )
End Sub
Protected Overrides Function DeterminePostBa ckMode() As
System.Collecti ons.Specialized .NameValueColle ction
If Me.Request.Quer yString("IDsess ion") <> "" Then
Return Request.Form
Else
Return MyBase.Determin ePostBackMode()
End If
End Function
Protected Sub SavePage(ByVal state As Object)
Dim tmpLosFormatter As New LosFormatter
Dim tmpStream As New StringWriter
tmpLosFormatter .Serialize(tmpS tream, state)
With New DataSetUitlityT ableAdapters._v iewstateTableAd apter
.InsertViewStat e(Session.Sessi onID, tmpStream.ToStr ing, Now())
End With
End Sub
Protected Function LoadSession()
Dim tmpLosFormatter As New LosFormatter
Dim data As String
Dim tmpTable As DataSetUitlity. _viewstateDataT able
Dim tmpReader As DataTableReader
data = " "
With New DataSetUitlityT ableAdapters._v iewstateTableAd apter
tmpTable =
..GetDataByIDse ssion(Me.Reques t.QueryString(" IDsession"))
End With
tmpReader = tmpTable.Create DataReader()
If tmpReader.HasRo ws Then
tmpReader.Read( )
Return
tmpLosFormatter .Deserialize(tm pReader.Item("V iewState").ToSt ring)
Else
Return tmpLosFormatter .Deserialize(da ta)
End If
End Function
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Me.Load
End Sub
End Class 1 3029
contrary to popular belief, controls generally do not save their values in
viewstate. the browser posts the value, (and the value only). controls
generally store non value information it may need to process the postback
info.
for example the textbox needs to save the previous value, to implement the
onchange event, so the previous (render value) value is stored in
viewstate.it can then compare this to the postback value and tell if its
different.
generally to make you wizard work, you need to save the control values and
restore them, not the viewstate..
