Dynamic controls - losing viewstate after button_click event

I am loading my controls dynamically into my asp.net page. When I click on a
button on one of those user controls then page reloads and I need to reload
the page based on what has happened in the button click. Problem is that the
button click is the last thing to fire so I need to reload the page a second
time to update the controls based on the logic in the button click. The
second time around the page loses its viewstate which stores previously
entered data in some text boxes.

Events :

Page_Load - RenderPage()

Button is clicked.

Page_Load - RenderPage()

Button_Click event fires changing some data.

// Need to reload page based on logic changes in Button_Click

Option 1 : Server.Transfer ("Default.aspx" ) - This reloads the page
correctly but loses the viewstate

Option 2 : Server.Transfer ("Default.aspx" ,true) - This reloads the page
correctly but continually fires the button click event

Option 3 : Call RenderPage() from Button_Click- This works but user control
events are lost due to the RenderPage method being called after the
Page_Load event.

Does anyone have any ideas on how this is supposed to be done in ASP.Net?
(I'm using C#) All I want is for the viewstate to be kept between page calls
and the events to work. However, any possible solutions seem to come have
their own problems. What would be the recommended way in this case?

Hi All I have been trying to add a control to the header cell of a datagrid on my ASP.NET page. These controls are defined in the HTML as ASP.NET web controls. They are being added into the header of the datagrid in the "ItemDataBound" method of the grid. However, once, they are added in the grid, i seem to lose the event handler for the same control. Is there anyone who has tried this before and knows why this is hapenning ??

Ok. Here is the question. I am writing code to make a multipage form. Each page is loaded from a usercontrol. Now when I get to the final page I would like to access the information on the first page. But I can't seem to find a way to access the current data. I can access the control, but it gives me the default data. Not the data in the Viewstate. I know that view states is working because when I use the navigation buttons to go...

OK, here's another question for the experts: I am building a multi-step (3 steps actually) form using a panel for each step and hiding/displaying the appropriate panel/panels depending on which step you're on.

Each panel contains a table which is filled with various radio buttons, text fields and the such which are...

I'm creating a set of dynamic controls on a webpage by calling my BuildControls sub in the Page_Init sub. I recreate the controls by calling the BuildControls sub in the LoadViewState override procedure. The set of controls will not always be the same (based on the selection the user makes in a static ddl). The controls are persisted perfectly. The problem I'm experiencing is that when one of the dynamic ddl's (let's say ddl1) is...

Hi, In ASP.net 2.0 I make a control which add the same controls dynamically. In the oninit event I add the controls to the controls collection. After that the loadviewstate event fills in the information on postbacks. The control can add and delete controls that is why on the postback I don't know how many controls there are. At the moment I am able to get the controls rendering but I have problems to save the count of the dynamic...

I have a <asp:table> control with a large number of dynamically created LinkButtons. I am using the command event, command name and command argument values in my LinkButtons to trigger actions after the post back. The table is dynamically generated based on a key field that is stored in ViewState. This key field is updated by several other controls on the same page. I am struggling with the pattern of when to create the table. I can't...
