How to save state when dynamically create controls?

[Julia]

Hi,
I have a custom control which render drop down boxes according to XML
configuration file
I would like to know how do I get the selected items of the drop down boxes
should I override LoadViewState and SaveViewState?

Thanks in advance

No, you don't have to override those.
On every load of the page, you need to recreate the dropdown boxes.
You need to add the items only the first time (no PostBack),
the next time they are read from ViewState.

What if I want to load the items from the data base(each time) in order
no to add them to the post back
but need to get the selected item?

Thanks in advance
