Passing Variables

Hi. I need to be able to pass a few variables on a button click to refill a
form on a new page. I am using a few textbox's but when the button is
clicked the values are lost - I am convinced that these variables are being
disposed - but why? - and how can I fix it.
thanks

Check that EnableViewState is set to True in the page directive.

And make sure you're not resetting the values in your Page_Load by testing
for !IsPostBack before initializing any values. Keep in mind that Page_Load
runs before your button event.

James,
Yes as Dale states, it's important to check you're not wiping out your
hard work in the Page_Load event! But make sure the order of your
events is right too, use the Trace to check, but as a rule of thumb,
try and do all page specific stuff in the PreRender event.
