Problem with listbox retaining selection after iExplore Back button is clicked.

I have an ASP.NET search page with two listboxes and a refresh button.

When listbox #2 is selected, it then redirects to the #2 content page.

If the user hits the iExplore Back button, the search page is shown with selected item highlighted in listbox #2.

Problem:
When the user then attempts to select an item from listbox #1 or click on the refresh button, it still redirects to the #2 content page. It's like the page retains the listbox #2 selection.

How I clear the select of listbox #2 when the user hits the Back button from the #2 content page?

Please show solution using VB.NET...

gadget27 - Does it matter where it goes in Page_Load?

I tried what you suggested, but it did not work. Still same problem...

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

Response.Cache.SetNoStore()

If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
BindData()
End If

End Sub

I got your suggestion to work. Thanks a lot!

Right at the head of Page_Load should be fine, as you have done. If there are other postback events on that page other than the clicking of a button which causes a redirect, that may cause this not to work. Along with the line you just added, try adding SmartNavigation="True" to the @Page Directive in your .ASPX page. If that doesn't do it for you, would you post your code to this page so that I can look at it in more detail?
