ds will be blank every time the page is posted back.

it is empty because it is declared as page class member? may i know where should it be declared then?

it would have to be rebuilt each time in the page load. Just add the ds and or dt to the session variable in the button click before you bind the grid.

Hi,
ok. got it working. Thanks. :)

How did you get it working?

Thank you,
Richard

Hi Richard,
added the session save statemetn after the add button:
Private Sub bAdd_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim tRow As DataRow
        Dim itmArr() As Object = {tText1.Text, tText2.Text, tText3.Text}
        tRow = dt.NewRow()
        tRow.ItemArray = itmArr
        dt.Rows.Add(tRow)
        ds.Tables.Add(dt)
        Bindgrd()
        Session(SesDs) = ds
    End Sub

Hii Annsary!!
Congrates for you got the solution
Session -specific to the user wise,accessible by specific user wise in the application domain
Cookies -specific to the user wise,accessible by specific user wise in the application domain

Cache- object specific to the application,accessible by any user or page in the application domain
Application- object specific to the application,accessible by any user or page in the application domain

So if the datagrid's contents is related with all the user ,its better to use with Cache Object.

Hope this will help you.


Cheers :)

HiVinod,
Thanks.

Now i am facing another new challenge. i am using .net VS2003 with v1.1 framework
instead of using dataset, i used the dataview as the datasource.
gdataGrid.DataSource = ds.Tables(0).defaultview

so that i can do sorting easily. Now i wish to hide one of the column in the datagrid. the data grid has edit and delete column followed by the view's column which consist of No, Item, Desc, etc.
I wish to hide the 'No' column. when i specifiy,
gdataGrid.DataSource = ds.Tables(0).defaultview
gdataGrid.DataBind()
gdataGrid.Columns("No").Visible = False

the above statement gives error and when i checked, the gdataGrid.columns().count gives only 2 (the Edit and the Delete columns). somehow, the columns in the dataviews are not be recognised. how to make the datagrid recognize the columns from the dataview?

I tried using the datagridtablestyle, but the datagridtablestyle is also not recognised by the editor.

pls help....

Thanks.
