The RegisterRequiresControlState(Control) method can be called only before or during the PreRender event.
Examples
The following code example shows a custom server control calling the RegisterRequiresControlState method.
public class Sample : Control {
private int currentIndex = 0;
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e) {
Page.RegisterRequiresControlState(this);
base.OnInit(e);
}
protected override object SaveControlState() {
return currentIndex != 0 ? (object)currentIndex : null;
}
protected override void LoadControlState(object state) {
if (state != null) {
currentIndex = (int)state;
}
}
}
Class Sample
Inherits Control
Dim currentIndex As Integer
Protected Overrides Sub OnInit(ByVal e As EventArgs)
Page.RegisterRequiresControlState(Me)
currentIndex = 0
MyBase.OnInit(e)
End Sub
Protected Overrides Function SaveControlState() As Object
If currentIndex <> 0 Then
Return CType(currentIndex, Object)
Else
Return Nothing
End If
End Function
Protected Overrides Sub LoadControlState(ByVal state As Object)
If (state <> Nothing) Then
currentIndex = CType(state, Integer)
End If
End Sub
End Class
Remarks
Custom server controls that use control state must call the RegisterRequiresControlState method on each request because registration for control state is not carried over from request to request during a postback event. It is recommended that registration occur in the Init event.
