Why do the mobile controls have to be re-created on every postback?

K

I am writing a test page to test the ability to create dynamic mobile
pages (see my code below). The code as I currently have it seems to
work in Pocket IE.

The code that generates the controls for Form1 is currently in the
Page_Load method. I have three questions:

1. Why does it not work to put that code inside of an if(!IsPostBack)
{} ?

2. Why does it not work to put that code in the Form1_OnActivate method
instead?

3. In the Openwave SDK 6.2.2 emulator, why do I get an error when
clicking on the calendar or the "ok" button? It says "error: malformed
server response"

thank you!
