Hi:

I set some variables (C#):
  protected string iLView;
  protected string iList;
  protected string UserID;
  protected ArrayList arFlds;

and in a proc. set their values on initial application Page_Load().

The Web form displayed and i clicked a dropdown w/ autopostback which 
called a proc that counted on the values in the vars being set.

The values that I had initially set were gone.

How do I use variables in a code behind page that I can keep.
I guess I'm asking, how the heck do I maintain state?

"Viewstate" allows you to store a hidden item and then retrieve it's 
contents on postback, works great when attempting to maintain a sort on a 
datagrid when paging as well.

under is not post back, store the field:

viewstate("strEmployeeName") = txtToStore

Retrieve it:

lblEmployeeName.Text = CStr(ViewState("strEmployeeName"))

Thanks Carole:

Hmm, this looks like VB?

I did it a different way Session["MyVar"] = MyVar;
MyVar = Session["MyVar"].ToString();

I'll look into the Viewstate.

Again, thanks:-)

I tried using the Viewstate but it doesn't seem to allow me to access it
accross different user controls even though they run in the same page.
