Populate controls once

[Mark Goldin]

How do I make sure that when an execution is taken back to the server
controls like combos are not populated again?

Thanks

If you populate your controls in the Page_Load event, you can wrap the code that populates the controls in an

If Not Page.isPostBack
....
End If

block. This will only execute the code (within the block) once; when the page loads initially. You can ensure that the data remains in the controls by setting the controls viewstate property to true.

hope this helps,
John
