When I click my "Query" the values for my user controls are reset.

How do I enable PostBack for my user control?

myDatePicker.ascx

<%@ Control Language="vb" CodeBehind="myDatePicker.ascx.vb"
    Inherits="Website.myDate" AutoEventWireup="false" %>

<%@ Register assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" 
             tagprefix="asp" %>

<asp:TextBox ID="DateTxt" runat="server" ReadOnly="True" />
<asp:Image ID="DateImg" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/Calendar_scheduleHS.png"
              EnableViewState="True" EnableTheming="True" />

<asp:CalendarExtender ID="DateTxt_CalendarExtender" runat="server" Enabled="True"
                      TargetControlID="DateTxt" PopupButtonID="DateImg"
                      DefaultView="Days" Format="ddd MMM dd, yyyy"
                      EnableViewState="True"/>

myDatePicker.ascx

Partial Public Class myDate
    Inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl

    Public Property SelectedDate() As Date?
        Get
            Dim o As Object = ViewState("SelectedDate")
            If o = Nothing Then
                Return Nothing
            End If
            Return Date.Parse(o)
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As Date?)
            ViewState("SelectedDate") = value
        End Set
    End Property
End Class
