VB.Net Checkbox values

Hello,

I have a vb.net page which a bunch of checkboxes. A user can select a
checkbox(s) and hit the submit button to store those values in a SQL
Server table. This works fine with no problem the first time the user
submits. However when user submits a second time while changing some
of the selected boxes the page only re-submits the previosly selected
checkbox values. It's like its storing it somewhere in the cache or
something. My page is ready to launch but cannot for this reason
alone. Any ideas as to what is going on here? Any help would be
greatly appreciated.


Thanks.


Anil

You got View State for the controls enabled? That's one way that old data on
a control can return to the control. How are you repopulating the the
controls on the round trip when the user hit's the Submit button, and the
value for a control has changed?

Thanks for response. The values are saved to the database and the
values based on the selected checkboxes get repopulated when the page
is loaded. I set the ViewState for all the checkboxes on the pages to
false and the Page.ViewState to false on page load and I am still
unable to get it to work. Am I missing something here?

Is the repopulation of the control being done at PostBack from the database,
and you sure data is being saved to the database?

Well the page has a dropdown and each dropdown has checkboxes. Each
item in the dropdown has an id associated with it. On the first go
around the id does not exist in the table and if it does exist I have
something in place that deletes all values based on that id. I have
checked this in debug mode and it is working fine. Once the Id has
been deleted, it then reinserts the values in the table. But on the
second go around it inserts the same values it did in the first
goaround regardless of what other checkboxes you might hve checked or
unchecked.

For a fact I know its not blowing up. So there must be something else
in the routine or session that just retains the values selected in the
first goaround. Maybe this is only happening with checkboxes?

When and how are you saving the values to the table? Is this being done at
Page_Unload? Are you saving the values in variables, before saving the data
to the table? I'll assume something is happening on the Control's
Change_Event.

How are you retrieving the values and trying to populate the form, which
I'll assume this is being done at Page_Load on the Post_Back.

Now, if you have disabled View_State on the controls, then there should be
no way those controls are being populated, unless you're populating the
controls on the Page_Load event during the PostBack.
