IsPostBack and Session Timeout

[Sean Bytnar]

Hello all,

I have a problem that I hope someone can help me with. Any webform in
my app reports IsPostBack = false if the Session times out. Because of
this my users lose any data they have entered in the form. Is there a
way to maintain the form values if the Session times out?

Thanks for any help,
Sean

I don't think it is possible, because that's why it's called 'timeout'.

Then my question would be why are Session and IsPostBack connected? Why
would a page have to have a Session to determine if the page is being
posted back or not? Why is a value not stored in the ViewState (which
doesn't die) to determine PostBack?

Thanks,
Sean
