Sounds like your datagrid has ViewState disabled, or you are DataBinding on every postback in your Page_Load method.

Hello, question: I have a normal runat=server form. In it I have some input fields to specify search criteria, a ImageButton that starts the search (with a server-side onclick event handler), and below it a data grid with the results. By default, this data grid is loaded with N of the most recent items of a sql table. In the page there are also 2 datagrid paging buttons, previous and next, each with a custom event handler. These are regular LinkButtons. My problem is simple, and is present as well in, for example, the QuickStart Samples: *everything* works fine if I mouse click the ImageButton or navigate with the pager links: the data grid is updated, the input fields keep their values, etc. *IF*, however, I set the cursor focus on one of the input fields, and just press Return on the keyboard, the page reloads, the input fields lose their values, and the datagrid is empty. This happens because I am not "trapping" the "Submit" event, if there is one, so I don't DataBind and the data grid shows up empty. (I miss simple ASPs, sometimes) Is there a way to prevent this? I tried creating a server-side custom validator, but no luck: it wasn't called. I looked at some examples that work, but these use Button's that are selected by default. Most don't work, like I said, even in the QuickStart tutorials. Any help would be appreciated, j -- Joćo Pedro Martins [EMAIL PROTECTED] |create|it| http://www.create.pt http://www.usabilidade.com You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
