[byka]

Please help me.. I am trying to store variable in a class however during grid insert all variable gone. Below is my code

Dim StateTemplate As New StateTemplate

Private Sub btnLoad_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLoad.Click
Try
Dim StateTemplate As New StateTemplate
With StateTemplate
.YearCode = ddlPlanYears.SelectedValue
.State = ddlState.SelectedItem.ToString
End With
...
Private Sub rgExclusions_InsertCommand...
StateTemplate is empty here

Of course it is, because you used a different StateTemplate object within your subroutine. Delete the declaration between the Try and With statements.

I delete it. and it still not working

Private Sub btnLoad_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLoad.Click
With StateTemplate
.YearCode = ddlPlanYears.SelectedValue
.State = ddlState.SelectedItem.ToString
End With

Where have you declared your StateTemplate object? What happens to it after you return from the btnLoad_Click event? Please expand on the expression "it still not working"; we cannot guess what that means.

I declare after Inherits System.Web.UI.Page I don't do anything with it after btnClick event

So what is your problem?

I'm sorry, but there is really no point in posting these vague statements and expecting us to guess what your application is doing. Show where the variable is set up , and where you try to use it, and explain the exact sequence of events that should make this happen. If you need to collect further information then use your debugger during a test run of your code.

I'm guessing that there is a post-back between the btnLoad_Click event handler and the rgExclusions_InsertCommand event handler? When an ASP.NET page posts back, the request is served by a new instance of the page class. Once the page has been rendered, that instance of the class is discarded, along with the value of any fields. That is why your StateTemplate field is not persisting between requests. If you want to save the values between requests, then you'll need to store them in ViewState: Beginner's Guide To View State [^] Understanding ASP.NET View State[^]
