set selected index of gridview on load

[WebBuilder451]

I have the datakey for the gridview passed to the page using cross postback.
How can i set the selected index of the page using this value, but only on
load where a previous page (cross post back) exists?

(i''ll be asking a lot of these, but I find C# totally way cooler than vb
and there''s no go''n back!!!)
thanks (as always)

Hi,

you can check for cross-page postback on the target page by checking
PreviousPage property for null reference. I've blogged about that at:
http://aspadvice.com/blogs/joteke/a...age-and-PreviousPage.IsCrossPagePostBack.aspx

So basically in Page_Load of your target page, check with previous technique
if you're in cross-page post and if you are then just set the property .
