viewstate serialization and atlas

Just testing a little popup calendar user control making use of Atlas. I notice that when I serialize the viewstate unusually (I have a 'StorePage' class that stores the viewstate in the db, keyed on a GUID in a hidden field on the page), the atlas calendar popup fails.

Can I work around this? Do my Atlas pages need to be decended directly from the Page class, or is my GUID-keyed technique flawed?

The calendar uses an updatepanel.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

Can you explain exactly what doesn't work? Are you registering the hidden field by using ClientScript.RegisterHiddenField?

All pages no matter what will derive from Page, and Atlas doesn't care if there are other intermediate classes in the way (almost all pages have intermediate classes anyway due to code-behind files).

I can't think of any specific reason why this wouldn't work off the top of my head.

Thanks,
