Controlstate confusion

[r.vries]

Hi,

I'm just starting with asp.net and created a toolbar (custom) control.

Everything works fine but when I do a postback a pushed button gets
'the 'unpushed' state...

I'm using LoadControlState and SaveControlState but the events aren't
fired in the order I thought they would.

Postback occured
-LoadControlState fired
-SaveControlState fired

This explains why my button loses its state after a postback.

But why is the state loaded before it is saved?

Best regards,
Ron

ps. I solved 'the pushed button' issue with a hidden field, so I'm not
looking for a solution.
But I'm just a bit confused by the behaviour of saving and loading the
controlstate.

Hi,

control state is saved initially on the first request when you load the
page. Then on postback, it is first loaded back (on the server) , used in
the process of dealing with the request (in respect to the control), and
then again finally saved for the next postback (containing possible
changes).
