Request.Form not working?

[Axford]

Hello,
On a WebForm (method=post runat=server) I added a
datagrid, label (visible=false) and input type=hidden.
All controls runat=server (label and datagrid server
controls).

In the page_load I change the values of label and hidden
field: they are rendered correct according to View |
Source of the rendered page. After a postback however I
cannot get to Request.Form["Label_ID"] or Request.Form
["Hidden_ID"] (both null), even Request.Form.Count=0.
When looking at Label_ID.Text or Hidden_ID.Value I get
the initial values before rendering.

Can anybody explain?
Thx.

Have you perhaps set the EnableViewState property to "False" by accident? It
should be true.

BTW, you shouldn't address your controls the way you do. Instead address
their values directly:

Label_ID.Text = "...";
string str = Hidden_ID.Text;

HTH,
