Hi,

newbie in VWB and ASP:NET. I created a webcontrol menu in a master page and I set the visible property to false cause I want it to been showed only if the user click on a link (then the code behind page change that property to true). My problem is that when I click on a item(link) on the menu to go to another page, the master page seems to forget that the prperty value of the menu was set to true now, so in the new page it isn't showen anymore and I have to click on the link again to see it. Is that a way to make the master page remember that property value? Or maybe some better solution? I tried with Page.ispostback with no luck.

Thanks for helping

Hey,

Welcome to the forum.  Redirecting pages loses settings for those properties; remember that the master page is part of the content page at runtime, not in its own area like frames.  You could store that property via session, which you have to capture in code-behind, and check at page load for each page you want to use it in.

Session("Key") = menu1.Visible

Then in your master page file, you check this key on page load:

if (Session("Key") isnot nothing) then
   menu1.Visible = CType(Session("Key"), Boolean)
end if

Hi again,

I got a new issue. I have an image button in the masterpage which redirect to the home page. One of my content pages has a web form that the user can fill in to send feedback by mail with a button to submit the form and some RequiredFieldValidator for the various text boxes. When I'm in this content page and I click on the imagebutton which redirect to the home page, the redirection doesn't work and instead the RequiredFieldValidator texts appear like if I had clicked on the submit button of the form. Why does this happen? How can i fix it? Hope my explanation of the problem was enough clearly.

Thanks

Hey,

Yes, change the causesvalidation of the imagebutton to false.  Buttons cause any validation in the form to fire by default.  causesvalidation="false" disables that for that button.
