Please explain strange viewstate behavior...

I am dynamically adding an HtmlInputHidden element with different values.
The problem is the first time I add it with a given value and submit it then
change the value within the Page_Load event it still has the original value.
I am guessing this has something to do with viewstate. I have turned off
viewstate at the page level, but the issue still occurs. Any suggestions?
The code is basic:
HtmlInputHidden phihAction = new HtmlInputHidden();
phihAction.ID = "hdnAction";
phihAction.Value = ((short)pactAction).ToString();
mfrmUser.Controls.Add( phihAction );
pactAction is an enumeration that changes based on action (i.e. 1=Add, 2=Edi
t)
Any help in understanding why it does what it does and how to work around it
would be greatly appreciated.
RobertRobert,
You need to check IsPostBack property befory assigning the value:
HtmlInputHidden phihAction = new HtmlInputHidden();
phihAction.ID = "hdnAction";
if (IsPostBack)
phihAction.Value = ((short)pactAction).ToString();
mfrmUser.Controls.Add( phihAction );

Please help me with this simple line of code.

Hello,
i am creating an ASP.net / VB web site with Dreamweaver MX 2004.
I have a form and a "Insert Record Behavior" to insert the form values in
the database.
Dreamweaver puts this code in the end of the form:
..
<input type="hidden" name="MM_insert" value="myForm"> (1)
</form>
The form is in a Multipanel. So when i first click the "Next" button the
form values are inserted in the database.
I want the form values to be inserted in the database only when the "Finish"
button is pressed.
I have the code which detects when the "Finish" button is pressed. All i
need is to know how to give the order not in (1) but inside the following
code:
Sub btnFinish_Click( s As Object, e As EventArgs )
End Sub
I am on this since today morning but until know i have no idea of how to do
this. Please help me. I tryied and looked for every options.
Thank You,
MiguelI believe what you are asking is "how do I code for inserting a record when
the finish button is clicked"...is that about right?
If this is what you are asking, you have not provided enough information, su
ch as what is the source file you are wanting to update.
You will need a Connection Object, which typically come in 3 flavors (ODBC,
OLEDB, or SQL)
You will need a connection string to properly build your command object. Th
ere are places on the web which provided examples of connection strings to t
he 3 flavors noted above. Seach on ConnectionString or OLEDB Connections
You will need a command Object, again, these come in the same 3 flavors.
To properly build the Command ogject, you will need to Connection Object dis
cussed above and your query - Something line "Insert into MyDatabaseName Val
ues( MyValue1,...MyLastValue) .
Once you have all of that in-place, you will then need to open the connectio
n.
Then you will use the "ExecuteNonQuery" method of the command object, which
will invoke your query.
If you have never created a connection to your database/file or every writte
n a query, you have a lot of studying to do.
