Returns

Object

Returns the user control's current view state. If there is no view state associated with the control, it returns null.

Examples

The following example demonstrates a user control that manages its view state using the LoadViewState and SaveViewState methods.

public string UserText
{
    get
    {
        return (string)ViewState["usertext"];
    }
    set
    {
        ViewState["usertext"] = value;
    }
}
public string PasswordText
{
    get
    {
        return (string)ViewState["passwordtext"];
    }
    set
    {
        ViewState["passwordtext"] = value;
    }
}

[System.Security.Permissions.PermissionSet(System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.Demand, Name="FullTrust")] 
protected override void LoadViewState(object savedState) 
{
    object[] totalState = null;	   
    if (savedState != null)
    {
        totalState = (object[])savedState;
        if (totalState.Length != 3)
        {
            // Throw an appropriate exception.
        }
        // Load base state.
        base.LoadViewState(totalState[0]);
        // Load extra information specific to this control.
        if (totalState != null && totalState[1] != null && totalState[2] != null)
        {
            UserText = (string)totalState[1];
            PasswordText = (string)totalState[2];
        }
    }
}

[System.Security.Permissions.PermissionSet(System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.Demand, Name="FullTrust")] 
protected override object SaveViewState()
{
    object baseState = base.SaveViewState();
    object[] totalState = new object[3];
    totalState[0] = baseState;
    totalState[1] = user.Text;
    totalState[2] = password.Text;
    return totalState;
}

   
    Public Property UserText() As String

        Get
            Return CStr(ViewState("usertext"))
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            ViewState("usertext") = value
        End Set

    End Property

            Return CStr(ViewState("passwordtext"))
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            ViewState("passwordtext") = value
        End Set

    End Property
   
    <System.Security.Permissions.PermissionSetAttribute(System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.Demand, Name:="FullTrust")> _
    Protected Overrides Sub LoadViewState(ByVal savedState As Object)

        Dim totalState As Object() = Nothing
        If Not (savedState Is Nothing) Then
            totalState = CType(savedState, Object())
            If totalState.Length <> 3 Then
                ' Throw an appropriate exception.
            End If
            ' Load base state.
            MyBase.LoadViewState(totalState(0))
            ' Load extra information specific to this control.
            If Not (totalState Is Nothing) AndAlso Not (totalState(1) Is Nothing) AndAlso Not (totalState(2) Is Nothing) Then
                UserText = CStr(totalState(1))
                PasswordText = CStr(totalState(2))
            End If
        End If

    End Sub
     
    <System.Security.Permissions.PermissionSetAttribute(System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.Demand, Name:="FullTrust")> _
    Protected Overrides Function SaveViewState() As Object

        Dim baseState As Object = MyBase.SaveViewState()
        Dim totalState(2) As Object
        totalState(0) = baseState
        totalState(1) = user.Text
        totalState(2) = password.Text
        Return totalState

    End Function
End Class

Remarks

In general, you do not need to call this method. However, if you store custom information in view state, you can override this method to do so.
