Hi,

I am using c# in my web application,i have few static as well as dynamic controls on my web page(Controlsample.aspx).

I want to maintain the viewstate of all the controls contained in (Controlsample.aspx),in case if you are suppose to navigate to other page and when you come back to the page(Controlsample.aspx) all controls should persist there values which the user has entered.

I am not using SessionState

how can i achieve this task?

Thanks in advnace

you would have to write the state of the page somewhere and reload it when the user navigates back as for where to write it you could use Session,SQL DB or even write it to file.

You have a few options, create an object that represents the data structure of the ControlSample.aspx web page and save this to session or serialise it to a file, therefore you can repopulate the web page when the user comes back to it.

Hi Hitesh,

You will observe that, if you press the back button all the controls will have their viewstate preserved anyway and hence thats not an issue, however if you say went to another page from your current page and then in due course redirect the user back, then viewstate will merely recreate the control at particular locations etc..etc..i.e. with the UI stuff but not the content.

If you want to preserve this stuff then you can either save this state in session as you are already aware and also use control state. You can also persist this on sql server somewhere as well by using serialization.

Hi Sir, 

would it be right to maintain 50 controls state in a session?in which 30 are dynamic and rest of controls are static.

I want to load the controls state in the page load of that web page.

I am not aware about Control State that i'll try
