Hi! I have a simple situation that is NOT working. 1. I created a Private variable for my web user control for a custom DNN module 2. I set the @control Enableview_state property to True 3. At Page_Unload, I store the private variable into the view_state bag (stepping through the code at debug time, the storage actually takes place) 4. At Page_Load, I try to restore the private variable back from the view_state, HOWEVER when I trace through the code, the view_state bag does not contain the item. 5. The keys use to storing and retrieving values from the view_state are the same. I wonder if anyone else has gone through such experiences and have been able to implement successful postbacks in a DNN module. Thanks in advance.

Hello Bill, Appreciate you taking time to reply. I changed the codes so that the view_state is updated earlier. Specifically, I wrapped the Private variables with Property Gets/Sets and within the Property Sets, I set both the Private variables and the StateView item. That way, the StateView items gets updated early on. This does not work either. I checked the ASP.Net configurations on IIS, nothing there to provide any clue either. Also I precede my view_state key with the control name so that it is unique throughout the application (ie. no higher up or lower down controls overwrite the values). Finally, I solved the problem by creating my own invisible textboxes - these get state maintained across postbacks. As an advantage, I do not have to enable view_state which allows me to circumvent the performance issues associated with its escalating and uncontrolled usage. Not what I expected to have to be done though. Anyone else has a successful experience?
