Hi all,

I have a GridView on my page where I implement an event handler for the RowCreated event. My grid allows sorting and paging.
I noticed that when paging / sorting my eventhandler is called twice for every row in the grid. Once before sort/page and once after sort/page.
I'm an Anthem user (ajax framework for asp .net). First I thought that it was an anthem problem, but when I tried it with a normal asp gridview, I noticed the same behaviour.

I guess this is not a bug, so I'm not asking/looking for a solution. I just don't understand why each gridviewrow is created twice when sorting/paging.

Hi,

I faced the same problem. I googled for a solution and found this thread. I understand that you posted this a long time ago, so I reply primarily for Google to have a solution :)

As far as I understand, this is not a problem, but normal behaviour of the GridView with enabled ViewState. OnRowCreated is first fired when the GridView is being loaded from ViewState, and is subsequently fired again when it is being populated with actual data. So if you have viewstate enabled, there is no way and no need to fix this.
