Hi,

I am using drop down lists in grid view.

I have predefined data in ddl. I am using pagination.

I am in first page. I have some data in ddl. I changed data in ddl and going to second page. If I come back to first page from 2nd page, it is not retaining changed values. It is getting default values.

I want to retain the values after coming back to first page from second page.

It would be great if u can help me out in this regard.

Thank you so much in advance.

Solution 1

Don't predefine the data in the designer, fill it during Page_Load and wrap the filling in a

if(!IsPostBack)
{
<fill the ddl here>
}

Make sure EnableViewState is true for the ddl.

That should maintain any changes you make (during this session).

Your question is word-for-word the same as one asked back in December 2010. That question was marked as solved, so I suggest that you refer to that question.
