Hi all,

I have this page with quite a few textboxes which require viewstate ON.
However, i execute some Control.Addatributes on them so the take very much
viewstate space (three times a normal textbox). Those attributes can easily
be readded with every request, so those don't need to be in the viewstate,
only what the user entered in it.

I am looking for a way of having only the value of the textbox saved but not
the attributes i added.

I know Page_Render comes after saving to the viewstate, but can I use that
to add the attributes after the viewstate has been saved? It doesn't work
for me after a few shots and I don't seem to find any info or reference.

Any info would be appreciated

Saravana,

Thanks for your reply.
if I am not mistaken, the prerender method comes before saving the
viewstate (at least thats what the trace output tells me)

Yes, prerender fires before saveviewstate happens. If you just want to
persist only the text value of textbox across postback, then just disable
Viewstate for that controls. Text is a property that does not need to be
stored in ViewState as this is available through the Form collection and the
value will be replaced with the Form value when Postback data is processed
before the Load Event.

Great,

I wasn't aware that form values get re-loaded to form fields, even if the
viewstate for that control is off.
I'll be switching of more viewstates at the page level from now on, because
apparently you don't need viewstate to reload the form fields with the
entered values.

Thanks a million
Tom
