Variable scope problem?

[Tom]

Hi

I have the following code and why can't i change the value of myvar in the
DataGrid1_editc ommand event so that the (changed) value of myvar is there in
the Update event?? (it fires i debugged it!):

namespace MYproject

{

using System;

using System.Data;

using System.Drawing;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.UI.W ebControls;

using System.Web.UI.H tmlControls;

public class MyUsercontrol: System.Web.UI.U serControl

{

public string myvar ="hello";

private void Page_Load(objec t sender, System.EventArg s e)

{
}
public void DataGrid1_EditC ommand(object source,
System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Data GridCommandEven tArgs e)

{
myvar ="goodbye"; //enters this code first
}

private void DataGrid1_Updat eCommand(object source,
System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Data GridCommandEven tArgs e)

{

string temp; // enters this code next!!!

temp = myvar; // myvar = "hello" ???? instead of the wanted "goodbye"
}

}

}

The variable value will be lost between postbacks. If it need to be
persisted it should be saved to teh view state by the control and got back
when a postback occurs.

Hi,

You could simply save it in a session as
Session("myvar" ) = myvar;

later you retrieve it using

myvar = Session("myvar" ).ToString();

Please note that you should make sure that you saved the variable before
retrieve , usually you do so in the onload event checking for the IsPostBack
property.

cheers,
