in my page there are two option in drop down list (Hard Coded), based on option selected in dropdown button related data displayed in gridview.

In gridview i have a hyperlink field for view details which redirected page to next page and in next page details are listed.

In my details page i have link "Back" which redirected to main page where drop down and all are listed. everything is working fine.
But
when i comeback to main page with clicking of back button always first option is selected in drop down. no matter whatever option was there in dropdown.

Now i want when user click on view details if drop down have first option then when again i come back first option should be there and if drop down have second option then when again i come back second option should be there.
please suggest.


thanks......

Dear,

If u redirect from any of ur page to another, it loses all of its values and can't be retained. When u r clicking 'Back' button u r redirecting to ur homepage and it loads all of its contents as in initial page load.

Anyway, U can cope ur task by following to methods(1st one is most appropriate, easy and efficient).

1) Write function in .aspx file like below:

        <script language=javascript type="text/javascript">
        function GoBack()
        {
            window.history.back();
        }
       </script>

   On page load of new page add attribute of 'Back' button for onclick.

2) Other way is to pass DDL value as QueryString and retain back this value when back button is clicked.

Please do inform me if it is helpful.

well your second option i can use to pass value in query string. i cannot use first as i donot want to retain value in case of back button. i think i write wrong in my post - Back mean i put a link button here and when user click on it, it redirects to previous page.
is now there are more options available.

thanks......
