Syntax

'Usage

Dim instance As PagesSection
Dim value As Boolean

value = instance.RenderAllHiddenFieldsAtTopOfForm

instance.RenderAllHiddenFieldsAtTopOfForm = value

'Declaration

<ConfigurationPropertyAttribute("renderAllHiddenFieldsAtTopOfForm", DefaultValue := True)> _
Public Property RenderAllHiddenFieldsAtTopOfForm As Boolean

Property Value

Type: System..::.Boolean
true if system-generated hidden fields are rendered at the top of the form; otherwise, false. The default is true.
Remarks

You can use the RenderAllHiddenFieldsAtTopOfForm property to specify that some system-generated hidden fields are rendered at the end of the form.

In versions of ASP.NET earlier than the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, ASP.NET renders some hidden fields (for example, __VIEWSTATE) at the top of the form. Other hidden fields (for example, __EVENTVALIDATION) are rendered near the bottom of the form, just before the closing </div> tag. By default, in ASP.NET 3.5 SP1, all system-generated hidden fields are rendered at the top of the page. This makes sure that the information in these fields is sent to the server even if a postback is performed before the page has finished loading. If RenderAllHiddenFieldsAtTopOfForm is set to false, performing a postback before the page has finished loading can cause an "Invalid postback or callback argument" error.

NoteNote:

Although the property name indicates "all hidden fields," user-created hidden fields are not affected by settings for this property.
