I have a datagrid with a datasource of a dataview, right, pretty standard.

I want to provide a textbox control beneath the datagrid on the ASPX page
and upon submission have that text be used for a rowfilter on the dataview.
The problem is-- I think-- datasets don't live through postbacks, so I lose
the data.

Anyone done this sort of thing? Tips?

You're right.

You could persist it using the Session["MyView"] = MyView;

I *think* (sorry) you can retrieve it by casting it.
MyView = (DataView)Session["MyView"]
I won't swear to that part though.
