Control..::.HasChildViewState Property

Gets a value indicating whether the current server control's child controls have any saved view-state settings.

Namespace: System.Web.UI
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
Syntax
Protected ReadOnly Property HasChildViewState As Boolean
	Get
protected bool HasChildViewState { get; }

property bool HasChildViewState {
	bool get ();
}
member HasChildViewState : bool

Property Value

Type: System..::.Boolean
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();
}
