Ahmm,

The reason is because in case of TextBoxes, the values gets submitted to the server on every postback and are available in the Request.forms collection.

This means that despite of the viewstate being disabled for textboxes, the value is fetched from the Request.forms collection and displayed.

Cheers,
C

but why html element doesnot retain the values as control loads the posted values

Since it does not contain the runat="server" property by default. If you add this property (and provide an ID to the control so that it can be referenced in the C# code) it will.

Yes ,it will use view state,If you Disable the View state ,it doesn't retain the value after post back.

If the page get post back ,the textbox data will be loss.

Not quite true - if the control is enabled, visible, and not read-only, the value will be sent back to the server every time the form is submitted.

Solution 2

When the TextBox control is enabled, visible, and not read-only, it renders a form element (either <input type="text" > or <textarea>). These elements will send their values back to the server when the form is submitted. The control loads that posted value, regardless of whether view-state is enabled.

If the control is not enabled, not visible, or read-only, then the value will not be posted back to the server. In this case, the control will only remember its value if view-state is enabled.

If view-state is disabled, the TextChanged event will not fire.

means the value again fill after the form submission

Richard Deeming 13-Apr-15 9:42am

Yes, if the control is enabled, visible, and not read-only, it will retain its value on post-back, even if view-state is disabled.

By "HTML element", do you mean an <input type="text" ...> which doesn't have runat="server" on it? That's not a server control, so it doesn't execute any code on the server, and therefore cannot retain its value.
