ViewState - Visual Basic .NET

Why does my viewstate not seem to have an effect after the first server
roundtrip?

because you are not rebuilding it probably.

Viewstate is not automatically persistent across server round trips - it
needs to be generated on each trip to the server.

Why does my viewstate not seem to have an effect after the first server

This is what happens when I post newsgroup messages first thing in the
morning, but do I ever learn my lesson?? ;)

I was confused.

An aspx is called, viewstate is populated and the page is rendered.
When a postback occurs viewstate is there to be used, and will remain
there until you redirect off the page to a different URL. However, the
confusion on my part is that viewstate will get "lost" or corrupted if
during the postback an object is hyrdated from the viewstate and
changed. That object needs to be put back into viewstate since
viewstate is not a reference to a live object.

My apologies for that

Failed to load ViewState

by: John Kirksey | last post by:

I have a page that uses an in-place editable DataGrid that supports sorting and paging. EnableViewState is turned ON. At the top of the page are several search fields that allow the user to filter the results in the grid. Say you filter the grid for records that have a certain condition set to "NO" (in this case a checkbox). In this scenario the search returns one result. If I then check the checkbox ("YES") and save it, I now get my message...

ViewState Questions

by: neo | last post by:

hi, I am studying ASP.NET and have few questions - 1) The session ID and values of controls is stored in VIEWSTATE variable. So now when we put EnableViewState="false" in Page directive and disable the session state in Web.Config the VIEWSTATE variable is still maintained and stores some values. Can anyone tell what those values are for, i.e what other info is stored in VIEWSTATE other than the session ID and the control values ?

Hi everyone, I have a quick question that I hope someone can help me with: I've made a user control that contains a text box and some validation functionality.

ViewState questions

by: et | last post by:

I'm not sure I understand the use of the ViewState. Do I understand correctly that values of controls are automatically held in a hidden control called ViewState? If so, then why can't we get them, or how do we get that value? I always have to set the ViewState("FirstName") = txtBox.text myself before a postback is done, otherwise, the value of ViewState("FirstName") is always empty; there doesn't seem to be a way to retrieve that...

In other words, when I am on Page1.aspx and set textboxes, radio buttons, etc - that viewstate is fine. Then I have a linkbutton that does a Server.Transfer over to Page2.aspx. When I Server.Transfer back to Page1.aspx, the viewstate info is lost. I ran across another example of this last...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
