base.LoadViewState

Control.LoadViewState Method

Restores view-state information from a previous page request that was saved by the SaveViewState method.

Is base.LoadViewState and Control.LoadViewState same

The base keyword is used to access members of the base class from within a derived class:

Call a method on the base class that has been overridden by another method.
Specify which base-class constructor should be called when creating instances of the derived class.
A base class access is permitted only in a constructor, an instance method, or an instance property accessor.

It is an error to use the base keyword from within a static method.

Hi

I have created 2 pages one is source_view_state.aspx and destination_view_state.aspx on the source_view_state. aspx file there is a textbox and a button. On Click of button I have written the following code

ViewState["K"] = TextBox1.Text;
base.SaveViewState();
Response.Redirect("Destination_View_State.aspx");

Select allOpen in new window

Now on the destination_view_state.aspx I have written the following code

    protected override void LoadViewState(object savedState)
    {
        object[] states = (object[])savedState;
    }

Select allOpen in new window

which I guess is the method in page life cycle for loading viewstate.  This event is not fired. Do we need to call that event explicitly

Textbox1 value is already in viewstate and why you want to create another viewstate ViewState["K"] ?

Use server.transfer to go to next page and user Form["<ID>"] to get the values from the soruce page.

Hi apeter

I was just trying to find out the practical usage of LoadViewState. Could you please help me out?
