adam,

 

thanks for your reply.

 

it's rather difficult to extract the functionality out of my very large project, but I'm looking forward to create a simple example project. this will take me some time.

 

technically, the procedure is as follows:

- i have a classlibrary project, not a standard asp.net one built into a bin-directory and run via webserver alias.

- i have a httphandler (inherits from Page) instead of an aspx-page

- this handler does not provide viewstate as it does not load any controls that need would need it

- i render my controls dynamically, so there is no <bla runat=server> but a Page.LoadControl("bla").RenderControl(writer) call.

- before that, i have to call several control events asp.net would call (onload, onprerender etc.)

 

anyways, this procedure worked fine for 1.1, but not with 2.0. i suppose something has changed within internal aspnet processing.

 

i'll have a sample ready in a few hours.

 

cheers,

matt
