DataGrid Viewstate problem

[Josema]

Hi, to all..

I have 2 web controls (MyDataGrid.cs, MyCalendar.cs

The first inherits from calendar, and i have implemented the event MyCalendar_SelectionChanged and inside of this i put in the viewstate a datatable that i filled (and its filled, i verified)... like this

Viewstate.Add("DATA", MyDataTable)

The second inherits from DataGrid, and i override the On_Load in the control and inside this i have

this.DataSource=Viewstate["DATA"]
this.DataBind()

But doesnt ocurr nothing... Im doing well the use of the viewstate?..

Thanks very much.

Josema.

Hi,

maybe it would be because SelectionChanged event is raised after Load event
(SelectionChanged is a postback event and occurs after Load events) e.g when
your dataGrid is to be data-bound there isn't anything in ViewState yet. Do
you check for isPostBack when binding DataGrid?

Hi,

I don't think that you using ViewState correctly. Control should
implement IStateManager to support ViewState and it suppose to maintain
control own state (not other control state).

I don't know what exactly you after but probably calendar control should
implement property that other controls can call to obtain data. I don't
like this solution either, because any control should maintain its own
data and not others.
