Problem with postback in ASP.NET and C#

[TeaAddictedGeek]

I have a form with a summary page that I'm coding in ASP.NET and C#. The values are passed to the summary page, and if the user made an error, they can go back to the previous form page and correct the changes.

My problem is with the postback. It keeps overriding any changes that the user did on the forum. I'm using session variables to remember what the user put in and pass them to the summary page as well. There may be a better method; I don't know. I confess being still rather new to the ASP.NET/C# arena.

Has anyone ever come across this problem before with the postback? If so, could you please tell me what you did to solve it? I'm at my wits end here.


Thanks a bunch in advance,
Andrea

Have you considered using panels on a single page instead of navigating between pages and then either show or hide the appropriate panel. I have had much more success with this because you can then access those hidden controls directly and they are maintained through postbacks. Just and idea...

Well, that's really the problem is the postback. There are commands that get fired in the page_load() section that I don't want to fire if a person is coming through after already having filled out the values, but now wants to correct them. The page_load() puts in those values, but when the user tries to change them, the page_load() fires before the button code does, and the values are overwritten with the previous values.

Does this make any sense? Let me know if I need to step through anything, and thanks in advance!
