Dynamic custom control disappears after postback

[bigoldbulldog]

Hi,

I am loading 1 of 4 custom controls dynamically into a placeholder control. These controls have a variety of dropdowns, gridviews and other things.

I load from a LinkButton_OnClick event using PlaceHolder.Controls.Add(LoadControls("~/CustCtrl1.ascx")); and all is fine until I try using one of the dropdowns or other controls in the custom control. The the page is posted back without the dynamic control at all.

The dropdown does have autopostback="true". However, if I do the dynamic load in the page load event, then the custom control works fine. But I want to change that control using the OnClick event. Any thoughts on getting this to work?

Cheers,
ND

However, if I do the dynamic load in the page load event, then the custom control works fine.

That's because it is dynamic. If you don't load it every time the page is loaded, it won't be created. There's no workaround, you simply have to create it every time.
