Working without viewstate.

Question

Hi all,

I have a page with a DropDownListBox (DDLB) on it, but the client said not to use viewstate. This causes a problem in that the DDLB cannot send it's selected value to the code behind.

Is there another way to store the value of the DDLB without using viewstate?

I have tried writing a webcontrol with ViewState enabled, but the control inherits the viewstate from the page.

Thanks,
