Wizard ControlI have a page with a wizard control. Note, this page does have a masterpage. The wizard control has 5 steps; all steps have AllowReturn set to true. Step 1 allows the user to browse, select and upload a spreadsheet. This step also has a radiobuttonlist with values set to Fixed or Custom. In the NextButtonClick script, if the value of the radiobuttonlist is fixed then the wizard proceeds to step 2 otherwise to step 3 (Wizard1.ActiveStepIndex = 2) Step2 has a formview with several textboxes . On the Formview, I have a PreRender event set-up where I set-up default values to be displayed for these textboxes. The user can update the values in these textboxes as required then click next to go to Step 3. Step 3 provides 2 buttons allowing the user additional capabilities. If during this step the user selects the Previous button to go to step 2, I want the textbox fields to display the values changed by the user not the default values. How do I do this? I tried the following but am having a problem. I set-up 2 textbox fields on the page outside the wizard to contain the value of the previous and next step index (textbox 3 is for the previous step and textbox 4 is for the next step index as follows: protected void OnActiveStepChanged_SaveCurrPrevIndex(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (IsPostBack) //NOT first time { TextBox3.Text = TextBox4.Text; TextBox4.Text = Wizard1.ActiveStepIndex.ToString(); } } In the formview prerender script I try to check the value of these text boxes. If the previous step is greater than the current step then I don't want to display the default values. protected void FV1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e) { TextBox tb3 = this.FindControl("TextBox3") as TextBox; TextBox tb4 = this.FindControl("TextBox4") as TextBox; int inttb3 = Convert.ToInt32(this.FindControl("TextBox3.Text")); int inttb4 = Convert.ToInt32(this.FindControl("TextBox4.Text")); if (inttb3 >= inttb4) { FormView FV1 = (FormView)sender; TextBox tb1 = FV1.FindControl("TextBox1") as TextBox; tb1.Text = "0"; TextBox tb2 = FV1.FindControl("TextBox2") as TextBox; tb2.Text = "0123"; } } In the code above, I cannot get the values set-in textbox3 and textbox4. I would like to know how to: 1) Show the default values only the first time the formview is displayed and then show the values as they are if changed by the user; 2) How to access the textbox3 and textbox4 values in this prerender section. Thanks as always for your help. -- Morris Hi Morris,

How do I do this? scenario. For the simplicity I use TextBox to replace the FormView in your case. aspx: <asp:Wizard ID="Wizard1" runat="server" ActiveStepIndex="0"> <WizardSteps> <asp:WizardStep ID="WizardStep1" runat="server" Title="Step 1"> </asp:WizardStep> <asp:WizardStep ID="WizardStep2" runat="server" Title="Step 2"> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" OnPreRender="TextBox1_PreRender"></asp:TextBox> </asp:WizardStep> <asp:WizardStep ID="WizardStep3" runat="server" Title="Step 3"> </asp:WizardStep> </WizardSteps> </asp:Wizard> aspx.cs: protected void TextBox1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e) { TextBox t = (TextBox)sender; t.Text = "Default Value"; } The problem is, if you go to step 2, change the value in the TextBox and then go to step 3 and back to step 2. The value you changed is overwritten because "Default Value" is reset in the PreRender event of TextBox. The solution is, save a flag in ViewState, which can be preserved during postbacks. We can use this flag to know if it's the first time to assign value to TextBox. The updated code: protected void TextBox1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (ViewState["thefirsttime"] == null) { ViewState["thefirsttime"] = false; TextBox t = (TextBox)sender; t.Text = "Default Value"; } } Please test it and let me know if it works.

A quick question, is "thefirsttime" a variable or a custom name to .net? I tried to read-up on ViewState but info was hard to understand. Can you send me a beginer's tutorial on viewstate? -- Show quoteHide quoteThanks Morris "Allen Chen [MSFT]" wrote: > Hi Morris, > > >Step 3 provides 2 buttons allowing the user additional capabilities.
