Preserving POSTBACK data on dynamically added textboxes

Hi,

The problem I cannot seem to solve:

I have a page with a button control. In the On_Click eventhandler I
dynamically add one TextBox each time the button is clicked. I add the
textboxes to an update panel. I store the ID for the generated
textboxes in the Viewstate, which I use in the Panels' INIT
eventhandler to go ahead and instantiate the textboxes once again
every postback. I use the, in my opinion, old mechanism of retreiving
the textbox data by using the Request.Form[] indexer, indexing into
the collection using the textbox ID's stored in viewstate.

I know that there is the mechanism of re-loading postbackdata in the
freshly generated page class every postback. I know this happens after
the pages' control tree is rebuilt during the OnInit event of the page
itself.

My question: When I remove the Request.Form[] mechanism from my
panel_OnInit eventhandler, the filled in text in every textbox goes
lost on every postback. Can anyon tell me how to automatically re-fill
the generated textboxes(durin g Panel_OnInit) with the postback data
from the request ?

Many Thanks!!

I have a situation where I have to dynamically add controls at runtime. I am not sure how to deal with postback and retaining values in textboxes. I have seen examples where you have to include properties with the same name in the C# codebehind class. But this defeats the use of dynamic controls. Is there anyway to access and maintain the values in the fields?

I have a form that has a listbox on the top that is bound to a header table. When the page first loads, it paints the adjacent textboxes with data from the details table. However, when I postback the page with a new selected from the header table, the textboxes is not loaded with the new details. During DEBUG, I could actually see the values as it loops through the fields but it never paints the details into the textboxes after the page is...

I'm new to ASP.NET and I'm not use to the way things are handled with this technology. I've been told that when I have a control, I should only bind the data to it once, and not on each post back (basically have the data binding done in the If NOT IsPostBack Then statement). How come? How does this information get preserved? Which raises another question. Becuase I want to get away from the spaghetti code approach, I would like to create...

I have created several grids dynamically and have added them to different HTML placeholders on a vb.net web form. The grids and controls within them come up and view beautifully when the web page first starts, but when I click on a button, and the page comes back, my dynamically created grid and controls are not visible. Any thoughts? Please view my sample code below. If Not ispostback then creategrids end if

I have a page with a significant number of dynamically created radio buttons, checkboxes and textboxes. When a user is presented with this form and subsequently fills a bunch of stuff out, when they click submit I want to save their postback data (i.e., which checkboxes are checked, which radio buttons are pushed and what's typed into the textboxes). Then later I want another user to be able to view one of these forms and elect to...

I have a WebForm where I'm dynamically creating some controls and I'm having difficulty understanding how the state is being persisted and how to work with it. I've created a simplified example to demonstrate my issues. Lets say I have a WebForm with a DropDownList where the user selects a number from 1 to 10 (the DropDownList is not dynamically created). I also have a button on there that I use to trigger a PostBack. Based on the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
