I am using VS 2008, VB and using a dorpdown listbox in my asp.net webpage. I select a value from the dropdown, click the submit button, when the page comes back from the server, the value in the dropdown is blank (default). The dropdown controls viewstate is enabled.

How can i have a dropdown with checked listbox in vb.net??
View 2 RepliesI gather MATTER NUMBER and PATENT NUMBERS in a listbox on a dialog form - that I pass to the main form after the dialog closes.I then ask for CASES on subsequent dialog forms and want to have drop downs for MATTER NUMBER and PATENT NUMBERS that "have the suggestions" of what was entered in those list boxes earlier.So - I've been using DATASOURCE for binding to datatables and thought to myself - heh - I can probably set the DATASOURCE of the DROPDOWNS - and it works!
Public AddMatterNumber As ListBox
Public AddPatentApp As ListBox

I added a setting in my.settings, the setting is a listbox, and I know you can put controls in a listbox, but for some reason it will not let me add a toolstripmenuitem to the listbox in my settings. Is there a fix to this?

View 3 RepliesI have a list of servers in the first dropdown. I want to get list of all databases in the second dropdown depending on the server selected in the first dropdown.
For this I need to query each server while selecting the server.
I am new at the ViewState and i am looking to see what values are stored within it. I know how to loop through an array to check for a value but i do not know how to go about doing that for a ViewState("test") property.
Let's say i have added "bob, tom, Jim" to a ViewState called ViewState("test"). I would like to be able to see if "tom" was in the ViewState("test"). If not then add it but if it exists already then skip it.[code]....
I thought I knew how ViewState worked, but I was wrong.I don't understand why the following ASPX page preserves the value typed into the TextBox after clicking on the Button?(ViewState is disabled for both the page and the TextBox.)

It appears from the error message that the viewstate keeps becoming corrupt (see screen-dump below), but I don't understand why. He claims it happens every 2-3 minutes, but I've used the system a lot and have never experienced it.I should mention too that he is using the web-app in a very "non-standard" way. To achieve optimum speed he's actually using remote desktop, to connect to our server directly, and running it as localhost. ("Madness!"- yes, I know. I didn't make the decision.) That may not be relevant of course.
Is it possible to make the viewstate false of whole page including all controls at a time.I mean I don't want to set enableviewstate="false" for all controls..In the page directive of the aspx page I have made enableviewstate="false" but still viewstate of all the controls of the is enabled.. And what the EnableViewState="False"actually works within Page directive.
View 3 RepliesI have a VB.Net web site and on my sign up page I am storing the ViewState in Session. I am using the following code to achieve this.[code].....
This has been working fine for months, then I started seeing the occasional 'System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'. The exception is raised when I try to get the value of the Text Property from the SelectedItem of a DropDownList, the problem being the DropDownList does not contain items after the page has posted back.The problem is only present when using IE (7 or 8 according to my logs, but I have only tested with 8), but not when using FireFox 3.5.Reverting to using the normal ViewState persistence mechanism caused the page to work in IE again.There are no ViewState related exceptions logged, it is like the page just 'thinks' it has no stored ViewState.
I agree that the best way to shorten the ViewState is to disable it on the ASP.Net controls that don't need it. Keeping it small from the beginning is a great habit.I have also heard that it is already compressed (although can be true... there are ways of compressing it even more, has described in this Stack Overflow question).
My question here is not if it should be compressed... is: when should ViewState be compressed?If we have a ViewState of 410 characters it will weight 410 bytes in a page, while a ViewState of 13.843 characters equals 13.5 KB.
13.5KB is a considerable weight already. And if I compress a CSS file that height 10KB, I think it is also worthy compressing a ViewState of 13.5KB, even if that means a little extra "thinking" on the server.
But is 410 bytes of ViewState worth the extra processing on the server?At what point is it worth compressing?
I have a form with its method being "get" that passes the variables and their values to the query string, respectively. However, it also passes the viewstate variable in the query string. Now, I have a very long viewstate value on the given page, and if passed in the query string, the viewstate variable will cause the page to error out, due to "too long of a query string" which happens to also be too long of a url.
I cannot merely remove the viewstate variable - I need it. But I need to pass the viewstate variable along via some method other than get when the form is submitted, while the other inputs of the form (the non-hidden inputs) are appended to the query string.
I have Dim a(15) as integer i wont to save this array in Viewstate .

I'm setting EnableViewState = "true" everywhere i can, but still no result. Do i really need to set those properties here. (ViewStateMode and EnableViewState) If not, where should i handle this and what is the difference between those properties?
How do I convert the following ASP code (vb.net) to win form (vb.net)? I get a n error on ViewState.
Protected Sub TextBox_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles TextBox1.TextChanged, TextBox2.TextChanged
IsSaveRequired = True
End Sub
Protected Sub SaveButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SaveButton.Click
If IsSaveRequired Then save required.

I have a application which is on timesheet. I have total of 54 columns out of which 10 columns are visible rest invisibleFirst 3 columns are Project, MileStone and Classes. Rest are Sun- Sat work hrs, TaskId, TaskDesc and so on for each day. On my grid only first 3 columns and Sun - Sat work hrs are visible, rest are invisible.These Columns from Sun - Sat do not exists in database. They are identified on the basis of date and displayed on the grid. They exists as row in database but displayed as column over the grid.
Now I have columns named SunTaskID,MonTaskID and so on till SatTaskID for holding each days taskid[TaskID is the PK of the table from which data is pulled out. And each has its own task id.] Now on the selection of SunHrs (Sunday's Work Hrs), i retrieve that days taskid and on the basis of task id i then retrieve attachments which is displayed under a listbox.Now the problem is that since a day can have multiple attachments and a user can attach multiple attachments at time. I am not able to hold the attachments.
I'm trying to do here is get VB to hold a key down until I tell it to stop. Perhaps I'm missing something but I don't understand why this isn't working. This code can hold down shift and so on for as long as I want it too but absolutely refuses to hold down what i need it too (any letter key or numpad key)[code]
View 1 RepliesI keep getting the following error message when I run my vb.net web app:The state information is invalid for this page and might be corrupted.After a good search, I came across this Microsoft page, which describes the problem exactly.

View 2 RepliesI have been reading up and trying to understand the difference viewstate and session and as i am only storing a database id i believe i have settled on Viewstate.
Am i right in saying that a viewstate never expires until the browser is closed? One of the issues i have with Sessions is that sometimes the people completling my websites forms can take and age to do so and the session can expire.

I have a gridview in asp.net using vb 2005. on " Protected Overrides Sub Render"some of the data in the columns gets modified. when i do a view source.. and look at a column1's values it says 0010. in the render i am taking a value of ab0010 and turning it into the 0010 that is seen in the view source.. later on, there is a button_click event that goes through each line of the gridview and grabs some values. Here I'm doing a CType(gvr.FindControl("column1"), Label).Text the value is coming back as ab0010. so the question is.. the view source shows something different than what is in the viewstate?
