Saving selectedIndex state for subclass of RadioButtonList

[Jay]

I am new to building custom controls. I have subclassed RadioButtonList to provide a rollover effect where I can provide details on each option. I am having trouble saving the state of the selectedIndex. When I post back the currently selected option is lost. I am digging into various references on building custom controls, but if someone can provide information on what I need to do so that on post backs the selected option still shows I would greatly appreciate it.

Have you tried:

ViewState["SelectedValue"] = myRbl.SelectedIndex;

and

myRbl.SelectedIndex = (int)ViewState["SelctedValue"];

Save it any time you have it locked down in code after OnInit, and retrieve
it anytime after OnInit on postback.
