Hello,

If i remember right.. the fact that the fields keep their value once submitted is the result of the viewstate engine.

The problem is that in some scenario you have to disable it (such when you need to get the data back from server as an exemple) so when i try to disable it.. the data still are keep to the form and fields.. is there a way to disable it to clear out each fields.. once submitted ?

Thanks.

Close, but not cigar ;-)

The state engine (without ViewState) does this for you. When you submit a form control (such as a text box) ASP.NET is able to prepopulate the control again based on the value in the submitted form. This works for controls that submit their data through a form, such as text boxes, select lists, radio buttons and so on.

For controls that cannot do this themselves (a Label, a GridView, etc) or custom code, View State is used which uses the hidden __VIEWSTATE field to send the data from and to the server.

So, even if you disable View State, a TextBox control still retains its value after a postback. To clear its value, simply set it to an empty string:

myTextBox.Text = String.Empty.

Hope this helps,

Imar
