Where are you currently creating the controls?

<div>
For each post back, the controls will be regenerated, and so the controls you put to viewstate will be different than the one you generated after the post back. One option is to manage the control state and not the control itself. another option is to pass the control reference 'after' you create the control for post back. Here are some of the topics related to this issue.<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I am experiencing a problem with ViewState on re-post when I create controls dynamically. I cannot get the value of the dynamically created controls on the post back. As I understand, I have to recreate the controls in Page_Init event so that I can retrieve the values. BUT my problem is I don’t know the control names.<br />
<br />
I create textboxes dynamically and name them as ‘txtStaff’ and staff_id. For instance ‘txtStaff12’ where staff_id is 12. My problem is I cannot recreate the textboxes in Page_Init as I don’t know the control names. I also am not able to access any values in ViewState. Can you pls. let me know a way to get around this?<br />
<br />
Thank you for any help.

ASP.NET ViewState and dynamically created controls

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
