SO, I modified some of the code to extend membership (actually by adding another table and using the ProviderKey as the relationship)..

I have a section thats updating some of it, and I have another button that updates more...I have about 11 textboxes, and 3 dropdownlist's. Funny enough, the ddl's have the correct values in them, but no matter what I type into the textboxes, and debug, the value's in the code beside are always zero, zero (these are for height, weight, etc). any ideas? The only 'complicated' thing about the page is that this 'personal info' section is wrapped in an ajax:TabContainer control. I just dont get how ddlHairColor.SelectedValue returns the right value while txtWeight.Text returns a 0.

Any ideas? Would love it....

Maybe if you show what one of the TabPanels has in it that might help us all figure out a possible reason?

The ddl lists are populating correctly. The basic Info tab is also working perfectly...maybe I've just stared at this thing too long.

I guess a valid question would be if the Page_Load event fires before my OnClick event... if it does, then it would load new 'empty' values from the table into the form, and then the OnClick event would fire...and then hose me. let me put a break point in and see what the H.

You gotta be kidding me. So, the problem is the page_load event IS firing first...so its getting the data from the table (Which is currently empty) and pushing it into the form...funny that the values from the ddl's are saving into the table though, probably through state....any ideas on this solution? I would think it would fire a button event first, then re-load the page....grr.

Just throwing some ideas out there at the moment. I mean everything looks reasonably (or theoretically) ok. So what happens if you "take a policy of subtraction"? By that I mean what happens if you take out everything but:

from the tabpanel then add in the button and then add in the handler...etc?

Oh and just one clarification if I might. you say that the values are zero. for a textbox it would be .Text and that would be "" if not filled in. Or are you saying they're null? In other words when you step into ExtrasProfile.UpdatePersonalInfo what is the value of txtHeight.Text?

Again just throwing out some ideas,
Christopher

Oh! Duh! (Or at least I think Duh, I'm doing a few things here LOL) what if you do a SaveControlState and a LoadControlState? Will that take care of it? When you hit that button (btnUpdatePersonalInfo) it's doing a postback.

If it were me I'd put the save and a cancel button outside of any of the panels and then let that do the postback and save all the data.But that's just a thought. I might have missed something as far as your redesign.

Ooops sorry forgot to mention you might want to take a look at UserProfile.aspx.cs as far as the LoadControlState and SaveControlState.
