viewstate

[digbydog]

Hello,

I am a bit confused with viewstate - am trying to use viewstate to hold a
boolean value which is false initially and then gets set to true after a
certain event.

I had the following

Class
....
Public mHitCounter As Boolean

Private Sub Page_Load(..)
If NOT IsNothing(ViewState("IncrementCounter")) Then
mHitCounter = ViewState("IncrementCounter")
End If
....

and in the relevant event
ViewState("IncrementCounter") = True

however whenever the page load event is reached the viewstate variable is
nothing even after it has been set to true. I have read a ferw articles but
can't quite work out what is going on. Any help would be much appreciated.

thanks

is viewstate enabled for the page? what happens if you replace ViewState
with Session, does that fail as well?

viewstate was enabled - I replaced viewstate with session and it worked OK.
Thanks for your help - any idea what might have gone wrong ?
