UserControl.SaveViewState Method

Saves any user control view-state changes that have occurred since the last page postback.

Namespace: System.Web.UI
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)

'Declaration
Protected Overrides Function SaveViewState As Object
'Usage
Dim returnValue As Object

returnValue = Me.SaveViewState
protected Object SaveViewState ()
protected override function SaveViewState () : Object
Not applicable.

Return Value

Returns the user control's current view state. If there is no view state associated with the control, it returns a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

In general, you do not need to call this method. However, if you store custom information in view state, you can override this method to do so.

The following example demonstrates a user control that manages its view state using the LoadViewState and SaveViewState methods.

   
    Public Property UserText() As String

        Get
            Return CStr(ViewState("usertext"))
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            ViewState("usertext") = value
        End Set

    End Property
   
    Public Property PasswordText() As String

        Get
            Return CStr(ViewState("passwordtext"))
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            ViewState("passwordtext") = value
        End Set

    End Property
   
    <System.Security.Permissions.PermissionSetAttribute(System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.Demand, Name:="FullTrust")> _
    Protected Overrides Sub LoadViewState(ByVal savedState As Object)

        Dim totalState As Object() = Nothing
        If Not (savedState Is Nothing) Then
            totalState = CType(savedState, Object())
            If totalState.Length <> 3 Then
                ' Throw an appropriate exception.
            End If
            ' Load base state.
            MyBase.LoadViewState(totalState(0))
            ' Load extra information specific to this control.
            If Not (totalState Is Nothing) AndAlso Not (totalState(1) Is Nothing) AndAlso Not (totalState(2) Is Nothing) Then
                UserText = CStr(totalState(1))
                PasswordText = CStr(totalState(2))
            End If
        End If

    End Sub
     
    <System.Security.Permissions.PermissionSetAttribute(System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.Demand, Name:="FullTrust")> _
    Protected Overrides Function SaveViewState() As Object

        Dim baseState As Object = MyBase.SaveViewState()
        Dim totalState(2) As Object
        totalState(0) = baseState
        totalState(1) = user.Text
        totalState(2) = password.Text
        Return totalState

    End Function
