Pager restting itself in gridview

[Bob Ross]

In my application in several of the gridviews if I click links within in the grids 5 times or more (links are opening new windows) then it treats the next pager click as a fresh laod of the page and returns you to page 1. It is not hitting the pageIndexChange d event just the page_load.

The strange thing is my gridviews are working in very different ways and still doing it. Some are simply bound in the code behind to a collection with a function for handling paging. Some are using an objectDataSourc e which fetches a dataview from a function. Some of the links are using javascript to open a new window. Some are standard links with target of "new".


Any one heard of this before? Anyone any help?

I have tried buidling a simple test app add it does not do this. But these gridviews in my app seem to have nothing in common.

I had the same problem, but I know how to fix it!
The issue is that when you click on a pager_index, the whole page is being reloaded, so any of the gridviews that weren't involved in the paging, reset back to first page.

Here's what I did:
In my page_change event function, I added a pair to the session object called say "gridviewOrders " with the value of the page it is displaying.
I do the same with say "gridviewUs ers" (just examples, important thing is a different name for each gridview you want to track)

Then in the page_load event function, at the end, I check to see if these objects exist in the session, and if they do, change the gridview pages to the page saved in the session object..

Thanks for you help but unfortunately this is not the same problem.
There is only one grid on the pages with the problem (other pages with two grids acutally work fine).
When the problem occours the first event I can catch after I have clicked on the pager is the page_load so there is no way of saving the page index.

Ah yes, after re-reading it I see it now. That's what I get for not looking closely.
