Hi and thanks.<BR>I dont need Viewstate for any of the controls on a page. I set Viewstate to false in the Page Load and the dropdown controls on the page turn up empty (NULL VALUE) when the form is posted. I can set all the other individual (textbox) controls viewstate to false and they work ok. The dropdowns are bound from an array in the pageload. They render in the HTML ok. What am I missing here.I have the same problem, and I haven't found any solution yet. At the moment I am using enableviewstate=True and it is working ok. I think this problem is by design and Can anyone confirm this please.
