Postback not behaving as expected

[blinton25]

Hi,

Trying some sample code at:

http://www.w3schools.com/aspnet/aspnet_events.asp (The Page.IsPostBack
Property)

I believe that the first time the page is loaded the date should be printed,
but when I click the button, the date will not be shown. However the date
continues to be shown.

Any idea why this is occuring?

Will be much easier if you can paste the code that you are using.

But the time won't change, as the instructions point out

Hi,

Ok, thanks. I actually used:

<%@ Page EnableViewState="false" %>

Thanks again.

No need to worry about viewstate. If you read the instructions, you will
note that the Date/Time is supposed to show on PostBack, but the time won't
change

The reason I asked for the code was to make sure the OP was using the code
exactly as-is. sometimes copy-paste can create issues in itself.

He's using the code in the web page that he said he was using...

I think you are misunderstanding the example. The date will always be
shown, but as you can verify the date and time value displayed never
changes, because it is only set on the first time the page is loaded.
If you refresh the page, you'll see the date and time value change.
So the label value is set once on the initial page load and is never
changed again with subsequent post backs.

Thanks,

Hello,

Thanks for your responses, they allowed me to understand the original
example and then modify it.

No need to worry about viewstate. If you read the instructions, you will
note that the Date/Time is supposed to show on PostBack, but the time won't
change
