Hi all-

Please pardon my dot net newbiness. How can I maintain the values a user has chose in a control (ie a radio button list within a databound gridview) once the user has navigated away from the page to a 2nd page and then returns back to the first page via a menu link?

Right now all values are being cleared out when returning, I think because the page reloads and the databind repopulates the gridview.

Tried 'If Not Page.IsPostback Then' but I think that must only apply to an auto postback from a control on the page. Unless I did it wrong, which is a distinct possibility.

Or does the answer lie within viewstate or the session state?

Thanks!

(using VB and LINQ to SQL)

Use session variables or cookies

OK, can I use session variables just like regular variables? ie an array?

So I could declare an array or two and use those as temporary containers until it's time to save the whole thing to the database.
