postback and webcustomcontrol

[Alexander Widera]

Hello,

i have a webcustomcontrol (:CompositeControl) which is in an asp.net page
which causes a postpack-event (ChangeSort).

protected void ChangeSort(Object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Session["Sort1"] = dropDownListSort1.SelectedValue;

Session["Sort2"] =
Int32.Parse(dropDownListSort2.SelectedValue.ToStri ng());

}

ChangeSort only saves 2 variables which are selected in a dropdownlist in
the session.

Then I have a method which compares objects of "IShopAricle" on the in the
session stored variables.

protected int CompareIShopArticleByConfig(IShopArticle x, IShopArticle y)

{

return CompareIShopArticle(x, y, Session["Sort1"].ToString(),
Session["Sort2"].ToString());

}

nothing complicated until here...

now there is a ArticleCollection which is a generic list of IShopArticle

public List<IShopArticle> ArticleCollection = new List<IShopArticle>();

and the method which renders the webcustomcontrol and calls the sort-method.

ArticleList is another webcustomcontrol which is added to this control.

protected override void CreateChildControls()

{

ArticleList articleList = new ArticleList();

this.ArticleCollection.Sort(CompareIShopArticleByC onfig);

articleList.ArticleCollection = this.ArticleCollection ;

this.Controls.Add(articleList);

}
And now the problem: if i select in my dropdownlist something, and the
postback has finished, the correct item in the dropdown is selected, but the
articleList shows the "old" "unsorted" articleList. If i reload the page it
shows the correct sorted content.

There must be something wrong with the order of the events or there must be
something missing.

Could somebody help me please?

thanks a lot,

alex
