What version of Visual Studio are you using? Have you considered stepping through your code with the debugger to see what's going on? You can test in different browsers by setting the browser you want to test with as your default browser (if you're using VS 2008).

I have a feeling it has something to do with you disabling the link buttons in your Page Load event.

Have you considered simply using the paging capability built into the GridView control? This might solve all of your problems.


In the future only post code that is relevant to the problem you're facing. It makes it very hard for us to help you if we have to read through all of your code just to find a line or two that pertains to your question. Also, when posting code, please remember to use code tags.

I managed to find the problem, I used FireFox development tools, and when I removed all the CSS and tested the link button everything was working fine.

Thanks for your help
