code example for placeholder/user control and viewstate problem

[ItNerd]

I am using a placeholder in my aspx page for a control (ascx in a
separate file). I cannot capture the value of the dropdownlist on
postback in the control because according to what I read, the viewstate
is in a "special place" and is being overwritten. Please please tell me
how to access this special place!!!???!! Thank you.



I am using C#, by the way.

P.S. I have read several explanations that talk about the order of
processing but I REALLY REALLY need to see a piece of code.

Are you loading user control in Page_Load? If yes then move this loading code to Page_Init to enable ViewState of user control which was loaded dynamically to placeholder.
