State Management

[ArizonaState]

I want to know how to use Session State or View State in an app.

I have a check box that determines if a dropdown list needs to be enabled or not. Here is the simple code...

 
If chkReserved.Checked = True Then
 
               ddlFillStart.Enabled = False
               ddlFillEnd.Enabled = False
Else 
               ddlFillStart.Enabled = True
               ddlFillEnd.Enabled = True
 
 

This happens the first time around but not after a postback. Also, specifying Postback action in the code (If Not IsPostback) does not make a difference. I understand this is a sessions issue. Looking for advice on my try...

Sessions("Reserved") = chkReserved.Checked
chkReserved.Checked = Session("Reserved")

Is this declaration good enough or do I have to create another Class to call the Session to refer to the new class?

Your help is appreciated.

Pheonix,

Please use code tags in the future, notice the button marked - # -.

Also, I am moving your question to the .NET forum. Although there is a lot of overlap and a lot of ASP experts can answer either type of question, site administrators have asked that questions specifically about ASP.NET be moved to the .NET forum.

For more information on Sessions see Sessions-How to pass information between web pages.

Since it doesn't appear that you are going to require this information in another web page, I'd suggest using ViewState to store your boolean.

Is this declaration good enough or do I have to create another Class to call the Session to refer to the new class?

I'm not sure what you mean by this?
