Dropdown viewstate probelm

[Mohamed Zaki]

Dears,

I've a problem in the viewstate regarding the dropdown list, i'm populating
it on the page load if it's not a postback and the enable viewstate is
enabled on the control and the page, and when a control submits the dropdown
list is rendered empty !, i've tested the code on another server and it's
working fine so i checked the web.config and found the viewstate="true" in
the page tag.

=================================
if (!IsPostBack)

{

ht.Add("medo","medo");

ht.Add("teto","teto");
//this.DropDownList1.DataSource=ht;

//this.DropDownList1.DataBind();
this.DropDownList1.Items.Add("medo");

this.DropDownList1.Items.Add("dedo");

}

=================================================

Please advise.

Regards,
Mohamed
