title: Properties in my code behind all go null when Wizard control's next button is clicked,
body: <p>I have a wizard control, and I have this code</p>
  
  <pre><code>    protected void Wizard1_NextButtonClick(object sender, WizardNavigationEventArgs e)
      {
          if (Wizard1.ActiveStepIndex == 0)
          {
              if (firstName != null &amp;&amp; lastName != null)
              {
                  Wizard1.ActiveStepIndex = 1;
              }
              else
              {
                  e.Cancel = true;
              }
          }
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>when the code gets to firstName and lastName they are both null, I have populated them in a previous method above, they are not empty until this event fires. My searching has only let me to something about causes validation, is this the culprit?</p>
