Form Variables

[Chris]

In ASP.NET 2.0 I declared

Dim dst_subscr As New Data.DataSet

and in page_load I filled the databaset with data from 3 tables.

When I tried to use the database from another procedure (button_click
of same form) my dataset was empty, no tables inside. Why ? Shouldn't
keep the 3 tables since it's a form variable ?

Thanks in advance.

Are the tables being sucessfully added to the dataset at all, can you access
them anywhere?

A regular form variable doesn't live between postbacks. You have to either
re-populate the dataset on every postback or store it in a persistant
location, such as a session variable.

If I add a dataset.xsd, not from code. Will it make a difference ?

 

[Chris]

It seems I can access them only in PageLoad.

 

[Eliyahu Goldin]

No. The problem is in populating the dataset with data.

Thanks a lot, up to now I got used to programming in VB6, and it's
difficult to work with ASP.NET.
