how to prevent component instantiation every time?

J

Jim Hammond

Every time I call a method in a client-side assembly (component), it seems
like the component gets instantiated again. More specifically, I have
determined that the Init method is getting called every time. Is there a way
to preserve the initial instantiation?

Thanks,

Jim

Details, please?

Who is calling this client-side assembly? How is it calling the assembly
(you don't call an assembly, you call a method or property defined in a type
in the assembly, and you may instantiate an object of that type first).

<script language="javascript">
function TakePicture()
{
VideoControl.TakePicture();
document.Form1.hidden1.value = VideoControl.jpgFile;
}
</script>

Jim,



I don't see where the TakePicture function is being called.



Are you saying that each time TakePicture is called the Init method of your
Object1 object is called, so that if you called it twice in a row during the
same request, you'd have Init called twice? Or are you saying that Init is
called once per request?

I left out the following button:

<asp:button id="Button3" runat="server" Text="TAKE PHOTO"></asp:button>

I enable it to call the JavaScript function TakePicture() with the following
code:

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
Button3.Attributes.Add("onclick", "TakePicture()");
}

The init function is called once when the page is first displayed and then
each time the button is pressed.
