Problem with the State of a DropDownList
Hi,
I have got a problem to keep the state of a DropDownList.
My page is organized this way:
- 1 MasterPage with :
- 1 DropDownList
- 1 Menu
- 1 Content
- X pages displayed into the Content when clicking on the menu
When I am clicking on the menu, the PostBack refresh the DropDownList to the SelectedIndex 0.
I want to use the selected value in the ContentPages.
I have tried with the ViewState and with cookies with no success (I guess I am using it the wrong way).
Many thanks for your help.
