ViewState problem

[Stephen]

I have an arraylist which takes in values and im trying to add values to the
array list everytime the button is clicked. Im trying to use the viewstate
but seem to be getting the following build error.

'System.Web.UI. Control.ViewSta te' denotes a 'property' where a 'method' was
expected

Can someone please tell me what I have done wrong. Here is the code which I
have added to the web form below.

Thanks for your help


private ArrayList addresses;

private void Page_Load(objec t sender, System.EventArg s e)
{

if(!(ViewState["Addresses"]==null))
{
this.addresses = (ArrayList)View State("Addresse s");
}
else
{
this.addresses = new ArrayList();
}

}

private void Button1_Click(o bject sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
Address newAddress = new Address();
newAddress.Addr ess1 = this.TextBox1.T ext.Trim();
newAddress.Addr ess2 = this.TextBox2.T ext.Trim();
newAddress.Addr ess3 = this.TextBox3.T ext.Trim();
newAddress.Addr ess4 = this.TextBox4.T ext.Trim();
newAddress.Addr ess5 = this.TextBox5.T ext.Trim();
newAddress.Addr ess6 = this.TextBox6.T ext.Trim();

this.addresses. Add(newAddress) ;
ViewState("Addr esses") = this.addresses;
this.DataGrid1. DataSource = this.addresses;
this.DataGrid1. DataBind();
}

Re: ViewState problem

You are trying to use paren to access the Address value from viewstate
instead of square brackets. So you are using syntax for calling a method
'ViewState' instead of accessing the indexed ViewState property.
