I have a custom UserControl where the content is dynamically generated
when the containing Page calls a certain method (i.e. DisplayData).
The content of the UserControl is a dynamically generated Table with
several Rows and several Cells. Some of the Cells contain a TextBox
which the end-user can type text into. The Page which contains this
UserControl has a "Save" button which generates a post-back.

The problem I'm having... When the end-user presses the "Save" button a
post-back is generated, however, the UserControl's table is empty. I
can save the table in the Session after generating it, but that doesn't
give me access the the text from TextBoxes.

Anyone know the proper way to do this?

TIA.

ejstembler,

Try putting the save button in the user control.

Good Luck

I cannot do that in this case.

I see that this is a common issue after reading several posts here and
the other ASP.Net newsgroups. Unfortunaly, I didn't find a solution.

Basically I have a composite Control which dynamically generates child
controls via CreateChildControls. However the this.Controls collection
is empty after a post-back is fired and then CreateChildControls is
eventually re-called. I just need to find a way to get the child
controls to persist...
