Presisting control state across Postbacks

[Nick Goloborodko]

Hi,

At the moment i'm developing a Timer custom control, and i finally reached
the stage where i need to persist it across page postbacks. What would be
the best way of doing it?

At the moment the only way that i see is by use of the cookies. (i was also
thinking about using a hiddent field - but with this approach i do not know
how to retain value across postbacks or page reloads)

I would greatly appreciate anyones input on the matter

TIA

Phew, that was a lot less painless than i expected Amen for cookies and
JavaScript being able to manipulate them. If anyone needs detailed
explanation on how to achieve that - just ask

Just one further question: under what property category is it best to put
the "IsPersistent" property, and is this name the most appropriate?

Kind regards,
Nick Goloborodko
