Disabling Viewstate Causes selected dropdown values to default to -1
<p>I don't get this.  So I disable viewstate on my .aspx page.  I then select options from 3 dropdown menus and then on submit check the values and they are all -1.  I put ViewState back on and do the same, select values and now in the submit event they're all set to a valid value for the SelectedIndex.</p>

<p>I don't get this.  I don't see how viewstate has anything to do with selecting values in a dropdown and then calling a server-side handler to pick up those selected values in order to do something with it and in order to get the actual valid SelectedIndex values that the user selected.  I don't see why it would give me a -1 if I disable viewstate for the SelectedIndex for each of those 3 dropdownlist controls.</p>
