How do I link back to the same recordset that a person paged to

You can handle this a couple of ways.

You can add the current page index to the query string and then have the details page return that page index to the main page.  Then modify your main page to check for the query string parameter when loading the data.

When you change the page you can store the current page index in Session then change your data load to check for that Session value when loading the data.

Ok, let me work on that a bit to see if I can figure out how to set that up.

Well I messed around a little bit, but couldn't seem to get jmwheeler's suggestion to come through.

In the meantime I am using "javascript:window.history.go(-1);return false;" That handles the postback issue at least.

<asp:GridView ID="MyGrid" ............ />

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     if (!IsPostBack)
         BindData()    
}

protected void YourCodeToHandlePageEvent(object sender, GridViewPageEventArgs e)
{
     //Your code to handle page event
    Session["PageIndex"] = e.NewPageIndex;
    //Your code to rebind data
}
protected void BindData()
{
    MyGrid.DataSource = .......
    MyGrid.DataBind = ...........
    if (Session["PageIndex"] != null)
    {
        MyGrid.PageIndex = (Int32)Session["PageIndex"];
        Session.Remove["PageIndex"];
    }
    else
    {
         //Your other paging code
    }
}

Thank you for that jmwheeler. Just a little more hand holding please...

Below is the general code (removed specifics for ease of reading) from the first page (viewServices.aspx) that has a GridView with a HyperLink column that passes a couple variables in the QueryString to the details page (Notes.aspx) which a user can then tab through MultiViews of related data from the chosen record.

The attached Code Snippet is the code for the second page (Notes.aspx) and its related MultiViews and DetailsViews (again minus general details).

I think I generally understand the logic, but am not sure where to correctly place some of the code. Also a bit confused as to what the "MyGrid.DataBind = ........"  should reference.

Thanks again. - Nathan

I made some adjustments based on the way you have coded your app.  Don't worry about my previous post this one should be all you need.

Add this property to GridView1:   OnPageIndexChanged="GridView1_PageIndexChanged"

Add the following to your ViewServices.aspx

<script runat="server">
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
       if (!IsPostBack && Session["PageIndex"] != null)
            try { GridView1.PageIndex = (Int32)Session["PageIndex"]; }
            catch {}  //Take no action
    }

    protected void GridView1_PageIndexChanged(object sender, DataGridPageChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        Session["PageIndex"] = e.NewPageIndex;
    }
</script>

Thanks jmwheeler.

I added that code and it gives me the following error: No overload for 'GridView1_PageIndexChanged' matches delegate 'System.EventHandler'

and points to this line as the source error: <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" OnPageIndexChanged="GridView1_PageIndexChanged"

I searched this and found some discussions on using the correct delegates, but it appears as though the correct ones are already being used.

Any suggestions?

Fantastic! That did the trick. Thanks for helping me work through this.

This will make things much smoother.

Much appreciated,

Nathan
