textbox inside a repeater control

[Andy Fish]

Hi,

I have a forrm with viewstate disabled (to try and optimize network
performance). I have come a bit unstuck though when I use a repeater with a
textbox inside it

Obivously with viewstate disabled, the repeater contains no items on
postback unless I databind it. however, this causes the posted textbox
values to be overwritten with the databound ones.

is there any way to do the databind before the posted values are applied, or
do I have to enable viewstate for this form after all?

TIA

Andy

Hi Andy,
u should enable viewstate of your repeater. If viewstate is not enabled for
a control it will be re-constructed. that will cause to lose its state as u
have experienced. Enabling only repeater's viewstate is enough for your
case.

Hi Andy,

You can have a Page level Arraylist (or Hashtable) for storing values from
textboxes in the repeater. When postback retrieve values first, the rebind
the repeater:

if(IsPostBack)
{
list = new ArrayList();
foreach (RepeaterItem item in repeaterObj.Items)
{
TextBox txt = item.FindControl(txt_ID) as TextBox;
list.Add(txt);
}
}

repeaterObj.DataSource = dataObject;
repeaterObj.DataBind();
