Lets explain the problem with a simple case:Lets CC be a composite control.CC has a variable called filter (string) stored in viewState.CC has 2 static child controls:
  • searchBox: Textbox
  • searchButton: Button
The user type a search term and click on the searchButton.the following steps happens:
  • PageLoad
  • CreateChildControls:
    • Create static child controls
    • Request database using filter
    • Create table with results and insert on each row an editButton (Button) and binding handler to the editButtons click event.
    • Insert table in childControls hierarchy.
  • Click event is fired
searchButton_click handler does the following:
  • update the filter
  • Recreate child controls this is where I am stucked
I need to recreate the child control hierarchy but also to maintain the child controls viewstate ! Otherwise, my editButtons's Click events will not be fired at all.Is there a way to achieve this ?I keep searching but I cannot find any solution. I will be glad to get some help from you guys.Hope you anderstand my problem, ask questions/code illustration if needed.Best regardsQuick
