hello experts,
I have created filter grid in asp.net & C#.
My form design has contains 3 dropdown controls and Filter grid(User control).
Its working fine(filter), but one problem arise.
the form controls are clear when i filter a grid(post back).
I tried to reterive values using view state, hidden controls, i got only null values.
Anyone please help, its urgent to me.
Its my user control code.
