Your problem is that the meta refresh doesn't cause a postback. Rather,
it's a completely new page request. Therefore viewstate is not saved.
Perhaps you should use a javascript timer instead to manually cause a
postback.
Or you could maybe stick with the meta refresh and store data in Session
instead of ViewState.

I am sure there is an easy fix for this problem. I am reloading the same
page at an interval using the meta refresh tag in aspx page. This page has
one textbox and one button. The problem is -when the page get posted back
to
the server the value of the textbox is gone. How do I preserve the value
of
the textbox that I entered in it?
I don't want to use Cache/Session to keep track of the value. That's not
an
option.
Thanks for your reply.
