asp.net building controls: I have a custom control I derived from the datagrid control and set a
couple of values in viewstate("foo") = "bar" but on postback they are
nothing. I have seen an example of doing this in the O'Reilly book
"Programming asp.net" pg 645. I must be missing something. Any help

I was putting together a simple example to post when I figured out what
I did. I had moved the order of the control in the controls collection
by adding other child controls. I guess viewstate is assigned based on
that order.

I am having another interesting viestate issue know where I can add
somthing to viewstate on the first load of the control but on post back
I cannot update viewstate. Is that how it works. Also I noticed that
when an onclick event fires for another derived control I am using
viewstate isn't available at that point yet. Any ideas? Thanks for
your help.
