i commented out savecontrolstate () in some properties eg city but still view state is maintained even if i set the controls enableviewstate to false. i change city and when i post back state is maintained no matter how many times i do submit page

  The article is about maintaining control state regardless of view state and as a function of custom control development. If you don't want to maintain control state, just don't implement it. Comment out the entire methods region of the code.

Hi scott, i have got a problem here. In my form i have couple of text fields and a submit button. After submitting my form when i click on Refresh the same data gets inserted again.This happens as many times i click on refresh. What i would ideally like is to insert the data only once even after pressing on refresh button and the data should only be inserted when i click on submit button. Plz lemme know if there's any solution to this problem. I work on Asp DotNet 2.0.

  That is the intent of LoadControlState; you may want to conditionally load control state rather than load it each time. There is a so-so example of this located here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.control.loadcontrolstate.aspx If you don't want to persist the control state across postbacks then you might want to dispense with the use of control state (and view state) in your specific application; or, if using control state, restrict it to only those items that you want to survive a postback.

HI! If I comment the : Protected Overrides Function SaveControlState() As Object Return Me.mCurrentProps End Function it still keeps the values. Viewstate is also turned off. How does it keep the values? Kind regards Legends
