EnableViewState

[JohnG]

Hi, All,
When I set the EnableViewState =false for a Textbox web control, the value
still stays when it postback. Should it? Thanks

Yes,

The Input values return in the Form collection. For complex types like
ComboBox viewstate will save all the control data (list items) so on
postback you don’t need to recreate the list items.

Yes it should.
Textboxes do not use ViewState to hold their value. This is handled by
standard HTML.

Hi, Steve and Natty,
Thanks for the response. My another question is if the textbox does not use
viewstate, why does it provide viewstate property? Standard html does not
retain the textbox value when submits.
Thanks

John
