Custom Web Controls text box drops data?

[Joel Barsotti]

I'm programatically adding a textbox to a HtmlTable and then rendering that
text box in the control.

I've explicitly made enableViewState true, but whenever it performs a
postback I lose the data.

Hi Joel,

This sounds like you're adding the child control to its container or the
table itself too late (ie. after Init or Load). For example if you add these
controls as a result of a click event they won't be able to restore its
state because viewstate loading code has already ran and your controls
weren't availabl at that time.
