dont know where this would fit

[Duh]

ok, i'm trying to get webform1 that has 10 pages to carry over the page index to webform2 so if someone one started on webform1 page 6 then went to webform2(detailview) click "cancel" to bring them back to webform1 page 6. if that makes any sense.

If u have not fig it out yet i am very very new to this. I am coding in C#.net.
any help would be godsend.
thanks

I would recomend using the Session object to keep track of the last page they were on. Then you can redirect back to it with you cancel button.

Thanks for the help, i pulled out a few books trying to figure out how to use a session object, but very very new to this, so could u look at the code i have so far and put me back on the right path. thanks.....

webform1

private void DataGrid1_PageIndexChanged(object source, system.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridPageChangedEventArgs e)
{
     DataGrid1.CurrentPageIndex = e.NewPageIndex;
    BindGrid(LoadData());
}
 
private void DataGrid1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
 
  Session["PageNum"]= CurrentPageIndex;
}
 

webform2

private void cancelbtn_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
      Response.Redirect("CaDisplay.aspx");
}

You want to keep track of the "page" that your dataview thing is on right?

These are what I use, you should be able to modify them as you need.
(gvCompletedSites is a DataGridView, but the paging should be the same for whatever object you're using)

Bind a function like this to the pageIndexChanging event

protected void gvCompletedSites_PageIndexChanging(object sender, GridViewPageEventArgs e)
    {
        gvCompletedSites.PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex;
        gvCompletedSites.DataBind();
        Session.Add("gvC", e.NewPageIndex.ToString());
 
    }
 

Put something like this Inside your page_load function

DataSet csites = null;
csites = GlobalManagerController.GetCompletedSites(mid, persontype);
gvCompletedSites.DataSource = csites;
try
        {
            if (Session["gvC"] != null)
            {
                gvCompletedSites.PageIndex = int.Parse((string)Session["gvC"]);
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ee)
        {//ignore?
 
        }
