EnableViewState does not appear to work for asp textboxes?

[John Blair]

Hi,

I have the following code which suggests state information
will not be kept for the textbox - but when i submit the
form with textbox1.value ="ABC" and reshow the page it
shows "ABC" instead of "test" i.e. the initial value.

Any idea whats going on here?

Note: This property enableviewstate works ok for a datagrid i.e. if set to
false it does exactly what you expect!


<asp:TextBox id="TextBox1" runat="server"
EnableViewState="False">test</asp:TextBox></P>

It's a known issue. Have a look at

Thanks alot (again!). Not what i was expecting - makes this feature useless
for this control!

My workaround is:

If Page.IsPostBack Then

TextBox1.Text = "Default"

End If
