    <p>I'm having a problem in my ASP.NET application with Viewstate and F5 page refresh.</p> <p>If after navigating from one page to another I immediately hit F5, I get the following error:</p> <pre><code>System.InvalidCastException "Unable to cast object of type 'System.Web.UI.Triplet' to type 'System.Web.UI.Pair'." </code></pre> <p>This leads to the following exception displayed on the page:</p> <pre><code>HttpException (0x80004005): Failed to load viewstate. The control tree into which viewstate is being loaded must match the control tree that was used to save viewstate during the previous request. For example, when adding controls dynamically, the controls added during a post-back must match the type and position of the controls added during the initial request.] System.Web.UI.Control.LoadViewStateRecursive(Object savedState) +310 System.Web.UI.Control.LoadChildViewStateByIndex(ArrayList childState) +136 System.Web.UI.Control.LoadViewStateRecursive(Object savedState) +224 System.Web.UI.Control.LoadChildViewStateByIndex(ArrayList childState) +136 System.Web.UI.Control.LoadViewStateRecursive(Object savedState) +224 System.Web.UI.Control.LoadChildViewStateByIndex(ArrayList childState) +136 System.Web.UI.Control.LoadViewStateRecursive(Object savedState) +224 System.Web.UI.Control.LoadChildViewStateByIndex(ArrayList childState) +136 System.Web.UI.Control.LoadViewStateRecursive(Object savedState) +224 System.Web.UI.Control.LoadChildViewStateByIndex(ArrayList childState) +136 System.Web.UI.Control.LoadViewStateRecursive(Object savedState) +224 System.Web.UI.Page.LoadAllState() +439 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +1092 </code></pre> <p>The point at which it fails is in the overriden LoadViewState method for a custom label control, when it calls the parent LoadViewState </p> <pre><code>System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label.LoadViewState(ByVal savedState As Object) </code></pre> <p>The savedState object appears to be for a completely different control (a drop down list) which is a System.Web.UI.Triplet, instead of the System.UI.Pair object expected by the Label control.</p> <p>If I do the exactly the same thing using a different page in the same application, the page loads fine after the F5 postback. The two web pages inherit from the same base class and use the same custom controls. The page that is causing problems doesn't have any dynamically added controls.</p> <p>Having debugged the process, it looks like the LoadViewState event is not being fired after the F5 postback for the controls on the page that loads successfully. SaveViewState is fired in both cases.</p> <p>Any ideas why the LoadViewState event would be fired for one page but not the other? I'm fairly new to ASP.NET and I'm still getting my head around how ViewState works.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
