• Re: PreviousPage is nothing when previously is something!

  Correct. I tried to create a private property within the page class, and then set this in the page_load event to the previousPage property. However, on postback from the button click event, of course, the page class is re-instantiated and so I lose the private property value. Because I only needed 2 properties off the previousPage property from the 1st page, I replicated these on the 2nd page as ViewState style properties. I then set these within the page load to the public properties of the first

• Re: ASP.NET frequency & no. of unanswered messages - sign of unstable platform?

  [quote user="Mikesdotnetting"]The volume of questions is all about the number of people using the technology and becoming interested in it, combined with the fact that a significant number of them don't yet know how to help themselves (use Google, debugging etc, etc) and the fact that the framework is being expanded rapidly. The volume of questions is a reflection of the popularity of the technology, not inherent problems within it. If you looked at other technology specific forums

• PreviousPage is nothing when previously is something!

  Hi, I have a property on my 1st page which is public. When it posts to another page, the 2nd page accesses the public property on the 1st page. This is done in the Page_Load event in the 2nd page. Now when I click on a button, I do the same check that I did in the Page_Load event, instead of PreviousPage being set, it is now nothing . This then causes an exception as I'm trying to access the public property off the 1st page. Why is this happening when the PreviousPage object exists in the Page_Load

• Re: PreviousPage is nothing when previously is something!

  you might be onto something there. I'm not at my pc now, but I was thinking about it later on. I think it could be that on the initial page load, the PreviousPage object is available since it has just cross-posted from the 1st page. When I click a button on the 2nd page, it is effectively posting to itself. So maybe the object is not available, since the postback was from the same page after the click event of the button. Maybe I need to store the property value of the previous page on the page

• Re: ASP.NET frequency & no. of unanswered messages - sign of unstable platform?

  Ok, I understand that there are many unanswered questions and that this is often the nature of this forum, people delaying in answering, people not aware of how to select them as answers etc. but I'm wondering if the volume of questions is reflecting the problems with the technology. I mean I still don't have an answer to the ' Sys is undefined ' problem from last week, so I've put that on the back burner. I think I'll have to fiddle with where the JavaScript is being rendered

• Re: ASP.NET frequency & no. of unanswered messages - sign of unstable platform?

  Can I make a suggestion? I suggest that Microsoft create a new sub-website or special page within the forums which deals with the top 100 problems identified by the number of raised posts on the forums. Users could search the top 100 problems to see if there problem exists and go from there. This must be way way better than me googling the heck out of an error or putting my error message in the forums search box and getting nearly a million posts returned! I mean look at the problems people are having

• Re: DropdownList box is empty on Page_Load event

  Ok thanks, very clear answer. I think I'll use the 2nd option as the convenience of having an SqlDataSource wired up to the DropDownList is lost if I then manually databind. Obviously you get more control, but generally for filters and such I tend to like using the wiring up method in markup, and GridViews and more complex controls using manual binding.

• Yet another 'Sys is undefined error'

  I know there are 1000s of posts and blogs on this error on google, but I cant work out what the problem is. 1) I've got AJAX enabled in my web.config with correct web handlers 2) IIS has axd files with 'verify file exists' UNCHECKED. 3) I've moved my script block to the bottom of the ASPX page as I thought maybe the script is being called before the AJAX library gets to load its scripts in. But no luck. Is there a fix for this? The funny thing about this is I don't do much client

• Re: ASP.NET frequency & no. of unanswered messages - sign of unstable platform?

  Just an update to this post, today I was getting a 'Sys' undefined error from the AJAX library . Now this should be as simple as adding a ScriptManager to the page, ensuring the AJAX library is setup in the web.config. So I've spent half a day googling what this error is, and what causes it. However, still no answer to this problem which is now eating into my development time. I can't work out what the problem is, but if I search for this problem within this forum, guess how many
