Hi,
I am experimenting with the Viewstate and based on a few articles I have
read, I put together a test. it is a simple test where I am dynamically
creating a DropDownList that contains 25000 list items. When I don't create
the control dynamically, I get a viewstate that is roughly 1 mb in size!
However, when i use the code below the viewstate is 0 bytes even on
postback. Impressive size difference. Now where I get perplexed is even
though the viewstate is set to off in the creation of the dynamic control,
the Dropdownlist retains the correct SelectedItem, and furthermore i can
even reference the control to bring back it's Selecteditem property and it
returns correctly...but with Trace=true set on the page i can see that the
viewstate = 0 bytes on this control. My question is if indeed the viewstate
is disabled for this control (everything points to this) then how is the
Control retaining the correct SelectedItem upon Postback???
Thanks,
Ron
Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Init
DropDownlist1 = New DropDownList
Databindlist(Dr opDownlist1)
DropDownlist1.E nableViewState = False
PlaceHolder1.En ableViewState = False
PlaceHolder1.Co ntrols.Add(Drop Downlist1)

Button1.Text = "Postback"
Button1.EnableV iewState = False
Placeholder2.Co ntrols.Add(Butt on1)
Placeholder2.En ableViewState = False
End Sub
#End Region
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load
Label1.Text = DropDownlist1.S electedItem.Tex t <-- some how this line sets
the correct SelectedItem whether it is a postback or not
End If
End Sub
Public Sub Databindlist(By Val ddl As DropDownList)
Dim li As ListItem
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To 25000
li = New ListItem
li.Text = "test " & i
li.Value = "test " & i
ddl.Items.Add(l i)
Next
End Sub 1 2998
the viewstate is used to regenerate the list on postback, not the value
(thats sent by the browser). if you turn viewstate off, then in oninit
you just need to regerate the list options. then when the load postback
data event is fired (just before the page onload event but after onint)
the option value will be found.
note: this works with static or dynamic controls. i always turn
viewstate off.

Hello all,
I have an ASP.NET page I've written using VS.NET2003, which have a ListBox
in it. When I press a button in the form, I try to get the selected item in
the list by calling ListBox.SelectedItem. And it returns null, even when I
select an item.
Even when I try to read the value when I get the SelectedIndexChanged event,
it still doesn't give me the correct answer.

Hi All:
I have an aspx page that has 2 dropdownlists. I want to populate the second
dropdownlist based on the selecteditem in the first dropdown. I know I can
do this by doing a post back and using the selectedindex and loading the
second dropdownlist.
Is there anyway I can do this without doing a postback? Any ideas/pointers
will be much appreciated.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
