I am using a RadDataPager to allow my user to page through a series of records.

I am successfully keeping track of every thing.
I should mention I am doing this in code-behind.

I respond to the OnCommand events, get the data, and present each record as they interact with the pagination.

I also want to allow them to add and delete data.

I respond to the TotalRowCount request which seems to get triggered when I issue a FireCommand evet at the DataPager.

Everything works well on the add. The Total row count and current page is updated and the user is positioned on the correct data.

However when I want to remove an entry the current page value in the UI is set to 1.

Now the data being presented is incorrect and if they click Next my code traps because my internal index is set to the wrong value.

I am firing a command with my desired page number but it always sets the DataPage to page 1.

My current work around is to set my internal index to zero.

Hi Tim,

Could you share your code using the CODE FROMATTER tool of the ticket editor. What type of control are you paging?

Here is my ascx code.
As you can see I am not directly [aging any controls.
FYI There are numerous extra controls after the txtSvrAddress control in their own table rows
I didn't include them to make the code more concise.

Here is what I consider the relevant code behind.

The btnDel event handler eventually triggers a FireCommand that I want to provide the desired index too.
However when I trace into the OnCommand the argument always points to the first index.

The intent of the OnCommand event handler is to look through my array of data entries and use the indicated 
entry to populate my controls.

On a related note, which I have included in a separate forum entry I would really like to cancel the OnCommand
if the data isn't valid, but there seems to be no way to do this.

Hello Tim,

Thanks for the code. I could not see anything suspicious in your code except for the following statement in the OnCommand event:
m_iCurrentPage = 0;

Then when you fire the paging command you will position the pager at the beginning and as far as I understand this makes the pager go out of synchrony with your internal index (whichever that might be as I could not understand). Could you shed more light on why you are making the pager go to its first page and what the index is that goes out of step with the data pager control.

Hi

The line of code you call into question is responding to the user clicking on the 'First' button in the pager,
so I need to set m_iCurrentIndex to zero.

m_iCurrentIndex is in fact the internal index that was getting out of sync with the pager.

I have made significant changes to my app and the problem seems to have gone away.

Thanks
