My web form has a MultiView which has 4 Views.  4 LinkButtons on the
web form activates each of the 4 views.

The 4 views have been hiding and showing nicely depending upon which
LinkButton is clicked.

But, when I try to get the ActiveViewIndex when the [Submit] button is
clicked, I always get 0.  Or if I do

Multiview1.GetActiveView().ID;

I always get the name of the first view.

What is wrong?  I googled, but haven't found anyone experiencing this
problem yet.

As a follow-up, I did set the active view index when a linkbutton is
clicked, like so:

MultiView1.ActiveViewIndex = 0; or
MultiView1.ActiveViewIndex = 1; or
MultiView1.ActiveViewIndex = 2; or
MultiView1.ActiveViewIndex = 3;

Again, it is because of the postback ghost.

In Page_Load, I did

MutiView1.ActiveViewIndex = 0;

Wrapping it up with

if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
  // That ghost line here.
}

Solves the problem.

Question: Does a page ALWAYS post back to itself when any button is
clicked?  On my web form I attempt to redirect to another page
through:

Response.Redirect("AnotherPage.aspx");

when the [Submit] button is clicked.

It looks like that the web form is posted back to itself, such that if
you don't do

if (!Page.IsPostBack)

, the ActiveViewIndex will again be set to 0.  Right?

Have you tried storing the activeview in a session variable, updated each 
time the buttons are clicked?

No, there is not need to do that now.
