Grid state

Recommended Posts

The Grid appears to be losing state when something else on the page causes a postback.  For instance, I drop a grid and a button on the page and populate the grid with enough data to cause it to page.  I go to the 3rd page of the grid.  I then click the button which causes the page to postback.  My grid has returned to page 1 after the postback.  I've also seen it lose my sort and my groupings.  This seems to happen whether I drop the Grid directly onto the page through the Designer or put it in a custom control.  I've tried setting EnableViewState = True, but this seemed to have no effect.  Is there some other property I need to set?

 Thanks

Odd.  I tested a similar example just now and it works fine.  The way it works is this: during callbacks, the grid's state is stored in a hidden field.  This is because the ViewState hidden field cannot be partially updated, and updating the entire thing would be wasteful.  Once a postback is done, the grid will check for the existence of that hidden field, and if the field is present, will load its state from that as opposed to the ViewState's big hidden field.  If it doesn't, it'll give results like you describe.

Troubleshooting this might be tough.  If setting EnableViewState to true isn't working, maybe there is some issue with that hidden field.  Could you answer these questions:  do you use the default hidden field for ViewState (hidden field called _VIEWSTATE)?  do you have FireBug or IE development toolbar installed?

In the most basic test that I've done, I do not add anything to ViewState.  In our more complex custom controls, we do store some property values in ViewState.  I do have IE Dev Toolbar installed.  If it helps, here is the ASPX page I've used to test this.  It is very basic with no code behind.
