I recently converted from the AjaxControlToolKit web tab to the Infragistics Web Tab, version 11.1.20111.2020 and I cannot figure out why my child controls are being lost on postback. These controls are not dynamic - they have been added to the designer. I removed all AJAX related code as a test (UpdatePanel, UpdateProgress) and I am still having the problem. The web tab's EnableViewState property is set to true.
Here is a single tab with an ultrachart. I have a button that will do a full postback (outside of this web tab) which updates the dataset with some filtered criteria. When I try to reference UltraChart1 in the Click event of the button I keep getting "Object Not set to Instance of an object", and sure enough the value of UltraChart1 is nothing. If I put UltraChart1 outside of the webtab, it works fine. Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong, or what I need to add to the WebTab?

Hello duncanhopewell,
Thank you for posting this question in our community. I attached a sample that reproduces your scenario. Lease review the sample. In order to avoid this error you can handle the UltraChart_Load() event.
Download and review the sample and let me know if you have any further questions with this matter.
