what is,& what is not saved in viewstate automatically?

hi there,
from what i understand not all objects & variables are saved in the
viewstate, even though all objects & vars are lost after the page
response is sent to the client browser.

is there any rule to determine what is automatically kept by .NET in
the viewstate (i.e. only objects inheriting from a specific class or
control?) between postbacks

thanks,
x

Nothing is saved in the viewstate automatically. Everything in the
viewstate is put there by the controls themselves.

A TextBox control, for example, will put the original value of the Text
property in the viewstate, so that it can compare that to the new value
that comes in the postback.

I'm not sure I understand the use of the ViewState. Do I understand correctly that values of controls are automatically held in a hidden control called ViewState? If so, then why can't we get them, or how do we get that value? I always have to set the ViewState("FirstName") = txtBox.text myself before a postback is done, otherwise, the value of ViewState("FirstName") is always empty; there doesn't seem to be a way to retrieve that...

When you decode Viewstate, there last root triple is a bunch of control ids that 'participate in postback'. This is all the information i've been able to gather on the web. Does anyone know exactly what these are for? And more importantly, how to get rid of them? Thanks. -Sam

Re: ASP.NET 2.0 I would like suggestions or code examples on how to collect a variable length list of input data (item# & item quantity specifically). I thought that I could accomplish this using a GridView that has ViewState enabled, an ObjectDataSource to process the submitted list, textboxes for getting new item data and an add button. Does this approach sound feasible or are there better alternatives? My problem is that I don't...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
