persistent variables?

[ubunreal69]

I have an ASP page written in VB.NET which needs to work with a persistent collection over a couple of requests.

I have tried using each "control" in a collection, which didnt work, anyways ...

I created a New Collection object, populated it and gave it so a Session() cookie to keep untill the next request/postback, but it only keps the first object in the collection????

Does anyone know what I mean or should I write up a basic example showing what I mean?

Any help is appreciated, Thanks

I think you should try explaining again. You mention persistence of variables, but you talk of controls...

Sure, I'll see if I can hack up a quick example tonight maybe (probably not enoguh time, I dont get home till late).

Maybe this will clarify in the mean time...

I am using a form full of controls, yes, but I am using a session cookie to keep information about these controls between postbacks, and because a single session cookie is keeping information for a fair couple controls it is holding a "collection"

So, a Session Variable is assigned a Collection containing information about the controls on the page.

The controls on your page, do they not persist their values between postbacks? That's the main idea behind ASP.NET.

The Frogs right.
Have you got viewstate enabled for each .net control ?
