Examples
The following code example demonstrates a custom text box server control that implements the IPostBackDataHandler interface. The Text property is changed as a result of the postback, and the server control raises a TextChanged event after postback data has been loaded.
using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
namespace CustomWebFormsControls {
[System.Security.Permissions.PermissionSet(System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.Demand, Name="FullTrust")]
public class MyTextBox: Control, IPostBackDataHandler {
public String Text {
get {
return (String) ViewState["Text"];
}
set {
ViewState["Text"] = value;
}
}
public event EventHandler TextChanged;
public virtual bool LoadPostData(string postDataKey,
NameValueCollection postCollection) {
String presentValue = Text;
String postedValue = postCollection[postDataKey];
if (presentValue == null || !presentValue.Equals(postedValue)) {
Text = postedValue;
return true;
}
return false;
}
public virtual void RaisePostDataChangedEvent() {
OnTextChanged(EventArgs.Empty);
}
protected virtual void OnTextChanged(EventArgs e) {
if (TextChanged != null)
TextChanged(this,e);
}
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter output) {
output.Write("<INPUT type= text name = "+this.UniqueID
+ " value = " + this.Text + " >");
}
}
}

Remarks
You must implement the IPostBackDataHandler interface when creating a server control that needs to examine form data that is posted back to the server by the client. The contract that this interface defines allows a server control to determine whether its state should be altered as a result of the postback, and to raise the appropriate events. For more information, see Server Event Handling in ASP.NET Web Forms Pages.
Methods
LoadPostData(String, NameValueCollection) |
When implemented by a class, processes postback data for an ASP.NET server control. |
RaisePostDataChangedEvent() |
When implemented by a class, signals the server control to notify the ASP.NET application that the state of the control has changed. |
