I am programming input forms in Asp.net 2.0
Some textboxes are static on the form and viewstate works fine.
Some textboxes have to be dynamically added to the form at run-time which
makes viewstate difficult to maintain. Sometimes I have got viewstate to
magically work. Sometime I have to manually restore viewstate.
What is the best way to deal with dynamically created input boxes?

Whenever a page posts back, you must recreate any dynamically added controls
and ensure they have the same ID property they had when you first created
them.
Setting EnableViewState to true helps too.
