I am having a ASP.net application it having three pages ,page 1,page 2,page 3,when the user navigating between this pages I want to maintain the view state in page level after postbacks(i.e.) .If a user visits page 3, passing some query loads some data .then he moves to page 1 doing some entries .after that he once again moves to page 3 now I want to display the data previously available at the time he moves to page 1, same
way I want to do to my three pages up to the user logging out.
i have one method which save datatable in viewstate.i am calling this method in. page_load2. Prerenderthe page was every heavy,i did tracing of page i found due to calling of method from preprnder it doubled the viewstate sizewhat was the reseon behind this.
View 2 RepliesI know the basic of view state. But I dont understand the functionality of view state at a control. For example, a texbox has a property view state. what is the purpose ? what it wiil act for true or false value.
View 3 RepliesI have two radio button list:
*1* report views -- 4 options -- NOT in updatepanel
*2* pagination views -- 2 options -- IS in updatepanel
The situation goes as follows: Refresh WORKS in default setting but when I select *2* radio button options and refresh the page renders the state that the (1) was entered in.
Example: () are the radio buttons
Report Viewing: () (x) () () Pagination View: (x) () REFRESH works!
Report Viewing: () (x) () () Pagination View: () (x) REFRESH fails to display Report Viewing: () (x) () () Pagination View: (x) ()
Report Viewing: () (x) () () Pagination View: (x) () REFRESH works!
OR: () are the radio buttons
Report Viewing: () () (x) () Pagination View: () (x) REFRESH works
Report Viewing: () () (x) () Pagination View: (x) () REFRESH fails to display Report Viewing: () (x) () () Pagination View: () (x)
Report Viewing: () () (x) () Pagination View: () (x) REFRESH works
I am using the session variable to hold the Pagination Viewing option but during page states, I've noticed that when a 2nd option is selected of *2* radio buttons (doesn't matter of 1st or 2nd option was initially selected) that during debugging mode the step over corrects the issue but not the right table viewing. Upon entering Page_Init selection selection index of radio button list returns to 1st option.
What is the maximum size of view state?
View 4 Replies1. the difference of view state and control state.
2. when & how view state is created after that what extent we can use that view state.
3. when & how control state is created after that what extent we can use that controlstate.
As a programmer how much clarification we need to know about view state and control state??

View 9 RepliesI have a grid view with a nested text box in it.I would like to turn view state off but the fact of the matter is when data is posted,the text boxes inside the gridview aren't available (there are no rows in the gridview on postback). Control's information is not stored in the View State (for things like selected value and .text etc.):Control state,introduced in ASP.NET version 2.0, is similar to view state but functionally independent of view state.However,control state cannot be disabled. Control state is designed for storing a control's essential data (such as a pager control's page number) that must be available on postback to enable the control to function even when view state has been disabled.

View 2 RepliesHow can I retain data on any link click in web page. For example, I have two drop down list boxes and I have sleected some data in it and when I am clicking on some link, these two ddl's are getting refreshed. How can I retains this.
View 4 Repliesi am using window.opener.location.href = window.opener.location.href; to refresh a page from another page
and it s working fine but i need to preserve state because i am loosing any ViewState on the first page when i do this. It will be as if the user typed in the url in the browser again instead of hitting refresh.
Im getting d following error.I've read various forms and cannot understand the reason for this issue. Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that <machineKey> configuration specifies the same validationKey and validation algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a cluster.
View 1 RepliesRecently I had migrated my ASP.net 1.1 based application from a IIS5.1 based platform to a IIS 6.0 based Platform.The new platform has 4 nodes with a load balancer.
One of the page of my application, which is perhaps the heaviest one in terms of form components like textboxes, dropdown is not behaving properly.Some times the users only get a "Blank White Screen" and some time they get a "Invalid ViewState" , Invalid length for a Base-64 char array.
Based on the KB
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/831150 I understand that the view state is getting truncated.
I had been facing this issue since we migrated to the new platform and the application was working perfectly fine on the old platform.
How can we pass the View State properties from one ASP.NET page to another in ASP.NET?
View 4 RepliesI have created a customized GridView Control.
I have created a property called as IsEntryGrid. Which is boolean. If it is true then it is assumed that it will be a grid where dataentry is possible from footer controls. Controls in footer are created dynamically. My problem is that when i m pressing ok image button control state is not maintained.
eg. In my footer say there is a text box for field OrganicationCode. I enter Org Code as M01 and if i press enter, i m not getting that back in my page event..
my code to create grid footer....
[Code]....
protected override void CreateChildControls()
I have a GridView that isn't databound until the user clicks a button...
[Code]....
The GridView has one bound column: the employee name. It also has a template field that has an empty asp:Table.
[Code]....
I populate the tblInfo in the RowDataBound event.
[Code]....
The CreateInfoTable(...) method manually creates the rows and columns for the employee. This works, and I can see my dynamically created table; however, after the user submits the form back to the server for PostBack, the rendered page after submission is missing my manually populated table. How can I save my table across PostBacks?
I have a gridview in which I have the autopaging option set to true, when i load the grid everything works on the first page, i can even go to second page , but when i click the edit button nothing happens and after that any click blows up the page giving me error Faile to load view state.
View 5 RepliesI have a textbox control i disabled view state at page and control level.i entered a value in the text box and click a button there is a postback,no business logic in the button click event.The values in the testbox are persisting though i disabled at the control level and page level.
View 5 RepliesI'm having troubles remembering how to grab the list view's state, or page, so that when you leave the list, you can return to the list view page you left on. I have a data pager, and I have hyplerlinks for items in the list view that take you to a file upload or file delete page, and then returns to the list view. It returns to the list view's initial state (first page).
View 1 Repliesi have been going through the documentation of viewstate. [URL]It was mentioned that objects that can be serialized are stored in viewstate. What is the meaning of serializing of objects ??
View 2 Replies(I have a feeling i'm making a mental error thinking this is possible, because it seems too easy, but here goes)
For my intranet web app with 20 users on slow machines, the view state is slowing down their browsers.
But the network is local and fast. So I think to myself, why bother putting all that data on the user's browser?...Something like putting it in the database and then all the page needs to maintain is a unique key. But then I remembered that's how session state pretty much works.
QUESTION: Am I missing something or is this really possible?
Which one more costilier View State or Session when a bulk data is stored. Why?
View 2 RepliesI've read somewhere that events of ASP .NET are based on View State of ASPX page. The values of submitted controls are matched with their value of view state and if any difference is found then the corresponding event is called up.
"When events are really based on view state than why events are fired even when the view state is disabled using EnableViewState=false."
I'm tired of including
EnableViewStateMac="false"
in every page. How to do that globally?
I'm trying to retain "visible" property of a control using view state in the following way
public bool showstatusbox {
get { return Convert.ToBoolean(ViewState["statusbox"]); }
set { ViewState["statusbox"] = value; }
}
Is there anything I should do other than this to retain value. Because, though I store the value in view state, on postback, its becoming null.
