This is my method. I've been using it for all my customized page data 
in
datagrid, it works well.

(1)Declare a static class variable called CurrentPage to store current 
page
number
eg.	private static long CurrentPage;

(2)On the NextPage click function and PreviousPage click function, 
assign
the data "Test" to ViewState
eg.   CurrentPage =3D your_current_page_number;	// eg. 1
      ViewState["CurrentPage"] =3D CurrentPage;
      ViewState[CurrentPage.ToString() + "-MyText"] =3D txtMyText.Text;
//ie. "Test"
	CurrentPage++;			// for next page click
	//CurrentPage--;			// for previous page click

(3)On the Page_Load function, restore data from ViewState
eg.   CurrentPage =3D your_current_page_number
	txtMyText.Text =3D (string) ViewState[CurrentPage.ToString() +
"-MyText"]

Subject: [aspx_professional] Maintain Viewstate for Datagrid with 
Paging


Is it possible to maintain viewstate on a datagrid when navigating
between pages?  For example, I have a textbox in a row in the datagrid 
on
Page 1.  I enter "Test".  I then navigate to Page 2 (using the default
datagrid page navigation).  When I navigate back to Page 1, I want to
have the textbox reappear with the word "Test" in it.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts on the matter.
