Hi,
I am post form data from, say, source.aspx to destination.aspx page. The source.aspx page has some checkboxes which are used in a SQL query in the destination.aspx page. For example,

if (Request.Form["color_spice"] != null) { WhereClause += " OR ado_products_fabrics.color = 'spice'"; }

The first time the destination page loads the RadListView shows the pagination fine. However, clicking on the RadDataPager under the RadListView causes a postback where the source.aspx page's Form data are lost. I have tried using PreviousPage.FindControl() method but that too does not resolve in the pagination's postback.

So what can I do? I don't want to use Session variables--there are going to be dozens of controls from the source.aspx page passing values to destination.aspx page. Cookies too will be too much to track then?

Below are the code-fragments for the .aspx and the .cs files.

Thanks!

Hello Meengla,

I am afraid that there is no other option than saving the where clause when the destination page is loaded for first time. The exact approach you will use to save the data (session, viewstate, cookie, etc.) does not affect the ListView control. However you will have to ensure that the correct data source is set to the ListView in any case that requires it to rebind (paging, sorting, etc).

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,
