title: ASP.NET Dropdown - Works when MasterPage EnableViewState = true
body: <p>I have a drop down menu and on postback, I cannot get the selected value.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>MasterPage EnableViewState = False</li>
  <li>Content Page ViewState = true</li>
  <li>DropdownList Control ViewState = true</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Doesn't work</p>
  
  <p>If I switch the Masterpage EnableViewState = true, it works, however the rest of the site really doesn't need view state so ideally I want it to be enabled.</p>
  
  <p>The Databinding happens in the Page_Init Handler and there is a Page.IsPostBack clause in it.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
