Title Body

I have an ASP.NET page that has two input elements: A TextBox that is ReadOnly. This TextBox is the TargetControl of a CalendarExtender A DropDownList with AutoPostBack=true Here is the code: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr><td colspan="2">Date:</td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2"> <asp:TextBox ID="dateTextBox" runat="server" ReadOnly="true" /> <ajax:CalendarExtender ID="datePicker" runat="server" Format="MM/dd/yyyy" OnLoad="datePicker_Load" TargetControlID="dateTextBox" /> </td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">Select an Option:</td></tr> <tr> <td>Name:&nbsp;</td> <td><asp:DropDownList ID="optionsDropDownList" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" OnLoad="optionsDropDownList_Load" OnSelectedIndexChanged="optionsDropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged" DataTextField="Name" DataValueField="ID" /> </td></tr> <tr><td><asp:Button ID="saveButton" runat="server" Text="Save" OnClick="saveButton_Click" /></td></tr> </table> When the DropDownList posts back, the date selected by the user with the datePicker is reset to the current date. In addition, if I look at the Text property of dateTextBox, it is equal to string.Empty. How do I preserve the date that the user selected on a PostBack?
