Keeping track of values in datatable while paging gridview

I have a page and when it loads, a gridview is populated with 1000 records. I have two text boxes which searches first name and last name.
Anytime i type in "be" for the lastname to search, I only see a page of data. If i click on page 2 i start seeing other data not related to "lastname = be" . I thought the value of "be" is not in view state and i put it in view state but still getting the same problem. Page 1 works well but other pages do not. Pls assist.

Try:

{
try
{
PopulateGridByCriteria();
sdgridview.PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex;
//dots
sdgridview.DataBind();

}

Thanks for your assistance scqstuff. Your code works but has broken my initial data that i load on page load. Presently, once my page loads, it is only the first page that is sorted in ascending order. once i click on the second page, no more ascending order. I will start seeing last name starting with V

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
//if (!this.IsPostBack)
//{
// PopulateStudentDirecGrid();
//}

PopulateStudentDirecGrid();

}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Response.Redirect("Error.aspx");
}
}

private void PopulateStudentDirecGrid()
{
try
{

//DataSet ds = new DataSet();
string connectionString = AccessConnectionString();
sdcmd = new SqlCommand();
sdcmd.CommandText = "DisplayAllStudentDirectory";
cn = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
cn.Open();
sdcmd.Connection = cn;
sdcmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
da = new SqlDataAdapter(sdcmd);

DataTable studentDT = new DataTable("StudentD");
da.Fill(studentDT);
int dataTableRowCount = studentDT.Rows.Count;

if (dataTableRowCount > 0)
{
sdgridview.Visible = true;
lblresult.Visible = false;
sdgridview.DataSource = studentDT;
sdgridview.DataBind();
sdgridview.Columns[0].Visible = false;
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
//Session["Exception"] = ex;
Response.Redirect("Error.aspx");
}

}

You may want to join the PopulateStudentDataGrid and PopulateGridByCriteria into one sub and then do an if txtLastname not null then commandtext = DisplayStudentByCriteria else DisplayAllStudentDirectory. I think that would allow you to add the data needed to the grid and select an index page before databinding.

Thanks for your comment. The reason why i seperated them is that I have a button link on the page which calls the PopulateStudentGrid which displays all record and not specific record. do you know how I can incorporate this within the same method?
