title: Form in ASP.NET c# clearing values of fields on postback
body: <p>So I took an existing contact form (that works) and plugged it into a new project and now on submission, the field values get cleared during the postback. There is no initialization kinds of stuff during Page_Load where they would be reset and no controls like UpdatePanel on the page either.</p>
  
  <p>I was having a similar issue with the selected index of a drop down list control being cleared during a postback as well on a different page. I was curious if anyone has ever run into a similar issue due to some sort of setting, etc.</p>
