Hey Bob,
I have never used stateful pages, so I can't really comment on them
being useful or not. I do think however that creating and maintaining
state is not too hard to write yourself, and that having stateful
components is a good alternative.
Cheers,

Hi all,
I've recently worked on a project that made use of stateful pages and have come
to the conclusion
that they lead to very hard to maintain applications. In addition not all
controls and services work
properly with with stateful pages.
In hindsight I believe we made a mistake adding support for stateful pages and
would like to rectify
the situation by dropping support in a future release. Instead of stateful
pages I think a better
approach would have been to add state support to individual controls such as
Table, TabbedPanel etc.
I'd like to gauge some feedback on how many folk uses stateful pages and how
they are used. Also how
difficult do you think it will be to convert the stateful page to a stateless
page?
Kind regards
Bob
