Cause

When you batch compile a page, the namespace _ASP is used for the resulting assembly. When you do not batch compile a page, the namespace ASP is used for the resulting assembly. If a user requests a page that is contained in the namespace _ASP, and then the page is modified and the user is posted back, the namespace might change to ASP when the page is recompiled.

Because the namespace is different, the Control tree for the second request does not match the original Control tree. This problem causes ASP.NET not to interpret the request as a postback. ASP.NET determines that a request is a postback request based on the following conditions:

Request.Forms or Request.QueryString collection is not empty
Page Control tree has not changed
Not the initial request

Note This problem occurs most frequently in Web farm scenarios.
