i have an asp.net application and a page as a part of it. I override
CreateChildControls function and in it i call my function to create
some dinamic controls before base.CreateChildControls().

In my function i create some controls: checkboxes, drop-downlists and
so on.

If i fill this controls with values when page is displayed in browser,
after postback checkboxes lose their values, while other controls not.

I use this code to create checkboxes
private HtmlTableCell CreateCheckboxCell( string controlName, string
displayOption )
    {
        HtmlTableCell cell = new HtmlTableCell();
        CheckBox chb = new CheckBox();
        chb.ID = "_" + controlName + "_";
        chb.Width = new Unit( "100%" );
        if( displayOption == "read-only" ) {
            chb.Enabled = false;
        }
        cell.Controls.Add( chb );
        return cell;
    }

and, for example, this, to create dropdownlists:

private HtmlTableCell CreateDropdownCell( string controlName, string
displayOption, Dictionary<string, string> values )
    {
        HtmlTableCell cell = new HtmlTableCell();
        DropDownList ddl = new DropDownList();
        ddl.ID = "_" + controlName + "_";
        ddl.Width = new Unit( "100%" );
        if( displayOption == "read-only" )
            ddl.Enabled = false;
        ddl.Items.Clear();
        foreach( KeyValuePair<string, string> pair in values ) {
            ddl.Items.Add( new ListItem( pair.Value, pair.Key ) );
        }
        cell.Controls.Add( ddl );
        return cell;
    }

i don't see any principal differences between these two methods and i
don't understand why dropdownlists restore their values from form data
and checkboxes don't.

If anybody has any ideas - give me, pls.
