Hi,
i've added checkboxes in the first column of a datagrid which displays 10 records at max. paging is implemented for more than 10 records. a 'Select all' button is there which when pressed select all the checkboxes. similarly, there's a select none button.
action can be performed on the records with selected checkboxes.


i am facing problem when the page index is changed. if i select checkboxes on first page and goto 2nd page, selection is reset.
what i want to do is that when i press select all button, all the records on all the pages should be checked.
i don't know whether this thing is possible or not.
please suggest something.

Thanx
Kawal

I guess you might need to write your own code to implement this. You can invoke the same method in your pageindexchanged event

Find your solution here...

Add a ListBox to your form, name it SelectList and set it to visible=false


place this reference to the function below in your page load event:

PersistState();


//keep checkboxes checked/unchked across paging:
private void PersistState ()
{
    for(int i =0;i<DataGrid1.Items.Count;i++)
    {

        System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e1 = new DataGridItemEventArgs (DataGrid1.Items[i]);
        //if check box is checked add it
        if(((CheckBox)e1.Item.FindControl("CheckboxSelect" )).Checked)
        {
            string sPK = e1.Item.Cells.Text;//e1.Item.Cells[0].Text + "," + e1.Item.Cells[1].Text + "," + e1.Item.Cells[2].Text ;
            ListItem item=new ListItem(sPK);
            if(!SelectedList.Items.Contains(item))
            {
                SelectedList.Items.Add(item );
            }
        }
        //if check box is not checked then
        else
        {

            string sPK =e1.Item.Cells.Text; //+ "," + e1.Item.Cells[1].Text + "," + e1.Item.Cells[2].Text ;
            ListItem item=new ListItem(sPK);
            //if un checked item is in the list then remove
            if(SelectedList.Items.Contains(item))
            {
                SelectedList.Items.Remove(item );
            }
        }
}

        }
