control.Attributes.Add() not working properly

[A Traveler]

Hello,

I have a textbox in a datagrid row which has autopostback. When it posts
back, it updates a prop on an object in a session variable.
In order to update the right object, in the ItemDataBound of the grid, i was
adding the objects ID property as a
MyTextbox.Attributes.Add("recid",rowDataItemObj.Re cID)
along with several other attributes.

For some reason these attributes are not being added the first time through.
But when do a postback, then they get added properly. The code adding the
attributes is not enclosed in any IsPostback checks.

anyone ever had this problem before, or can help?

Thanks in advance,
- ArthurDent

hahahah i would have loved to start by saying listen monkeyman (you would
have thought it was Zaphod Bebblebox) but i will presume the role of Ford
Prefect for now.

Arthur,
Would you might posting some code on what you are doing where ? if you have
your hands full... maybe i could send marvin around to have a look
Its easier to look at code and say it might be 'cause of this reason.. etc

hehehehehe! Youre the first person whose picked up on that. LOL. Thanks for
the offer, but i dont think Marvin would help... things are crazy enough at
work, dont need a despondent robot bringing in a mood. !! :)

Actually i got it fixed... it was one of those stupid things where you look
at it for an hour, then as soon as you ask about it, and look at the code
again, BAM! it hits you square in the nose what was wrong. No, it wasnt in
an IsPostback check, but it was in a different IF check, and i got so caught
up in the seeming posbtack issue that i missed the other. As soon as i
looked away to post and looked back again, it was glaring obvious.

Thanks though.
