Clearing text box 1

[JJ297]

Could someone tell me how do I clear the text box after hitting the submit button? I have the page posting back to itself.

Set the Text property to an empty string perhaps?

another, more complex option, disable viewstate.

I don't think that would work Jason, as ViewState isn't responsible for repopulating these control values (that would be the job of the LoadPostData method).

i thought viewstate was responsible for presisting these through postbacks. it's been my experience that when setting the viewstate of a control to false the values are not persisted between postbacks.

I won't digress the thread anymore, use Mark's suggestion it's simple easy and effective

Jason,

No, ViewState is just actually responsible for remembering the dynamically populated items of controls. The actual values are not the responsibility of ViewState:

It is a common misconception among developers that view state is somehow responsible for having TextBoxes, CheckBoxes, DropDownLists, and other Web controls remember their values across postback. This is not the case, as the values are identified via posted back form field values, and assigned in the LoadPostData() method for those controls that implement IPostBackDataHandler.
