Hi All,

I am new to ASP.Net MVC. I am using asp.grid and objectdatasource in MVC ASPX Application. I am not able retain the values of p_startindex, datakeynames etc. In many blogs it is mentioned like viewstate is not supported in MVC. Is there any alternate method to achive my task.

The below code is placed in View/Index.aspx page

<asp:GridView ID="grVw" runat="server" DataKeyNames="Id, Name" PageSize="10"
                    AllowPaging="true" AllowSorting="true" DataSourceID="ObjectDataSource" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                    AutoGenerateCheckBoxColumn="True" CheckBoxColumnIndex="0">
                    <EmptyDataTemplate>
                        No Matching Records Found
                    </EmptyDataTemplate>
                    <Columns>
                        <asp:BoundField DataField="Id" HeaderText="Id" SortExpression="Id" />
                        <asp:BoundField DataField="Name" HeaderText="Name" SortExpression="Name" />
                    </Columns>
                </asp:GridView>
                <asp:ObjectDataSource ID="ObjectDataSource" runat="server" MaximumRowsParameterName="p_maxRows"
                    StartRowIndexParameterName="p_startIndex" TypeName="MVCSampleApplication.Controllers.DefaultController"
                    SelectMethod="GetList" SelectCountMethod="GetListCount" SortParameterName="p_sortData"
                    EnablePaging="true">
                    <SelectParameters>
                        <asp:Parameter Name="p_sortData" Type="String" />
                    </SelectParameters>
                </asp:ObjectDataSource>

Thank you
