Property Value

Type: SystemBoolean
true if any child controls have saved view state information; otherwise, false.
Remarks

You can avoid unnecessary calls to the ClearChildViewState method by using this property to verify that any child controls of the server control are storing view-state information.

Examples
Public Overrides Sub DataBind()
   MyBase.OnDataBinding(EventArgs.Empty)
   ' Reset the control's state.
   Controls.Clear()
   ' Check for HasChildViewState to avoid unnecessary calls to ClearChildViewState. 
   If HasChildViewState Then
      ClearChildViewState()
   End If
   ChildControlsCreated = True 
   If Not IsTrackingViewState Then
      TrackViewState()
   End If 
End Sub
public override void DataBind() 
{
   base.OnDataBinding(EventArgs.Empty);
   // Reset the control's state.
   Controls.Clear();
   // Check for HasChildViewState to avoid unnecessary calls to ClearChildViewState. 
   if (HasChildViewState)
      ClearChildViewState();
   ChildControlsCreated = true;
   if (!IsTrackingViewState)
      TrackViewState();
}
