Viewstate question

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am adding a new column to my datagrid in the init of
my webform. The new column is created in my extended web
control which is derived from the datagrid. The
usercontrol contains a nested datagrid. Now the problem is
that the viewstate of this control is not maintained.
Where I am supposed to add this column? Can anybody help
me please?

Thanks

If you're dynamically adding controls then you need to recreate those controls
in Page_Init or override CreateChildControls so that the postback has a chance
to map the posted data onto these dynamically created controls. If you wait
until Page_Load then it's too late.
