[RESOLVED] Prevent Page from Refreshing

Hi,

i have a datatable which i populate with table data in the pageload event
i only want this to populate once, so i have it inside an IF Not IsPostBack

but if i click on a button on the form it refreshes the page and the data is lost.

how can i prevent this from happening.

Put it into ViewState or even better the Cache.

how do you use the view state

Type ViewState.add( into your IDE and you'll see what to do. It's very intuitive.

i think ill cache it, seems to be better for what i need to do.

thanks for the help as always guys
