Question

I have a gridview and use a session to pass the variables from the page to an edit page. This works perfectly, until you search for a number. When you search the correct record displays in gridview, but when you click edit, it passes the wrong record.

Private Sub gridview1_RowEditing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewEditEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowEditing
    Session("wr_id") = GridView1.Rows(e.NewEditIndex).Cells(2).Text & "~\/~" & _
                GridView1.Rows(e.NewEditIndex).Cells(3).Text & "~\/~" & _
                GridView1.Rows(e.NewEditIndex).Cells(4).Text & "~\/~" & _
                GridView1.Rows(e.NewEditIndex).Cells(5).Text & "~\/~" & _
                GridView1.Rows(e.NewEditIndex).Cells(6).Text & "~\/~" & _
                GridView1.Rows(e.NewEditIndex).Cells(7).Text & "~\/~" & _
                GridView1.Rows(e.NewEditIndex).Cells(8).Text & "~\/~" & _
                GridView1.Rows(e.NewEditIndex).Cells(9).Text & "~\/~" & _
                GridView1.Rows(e.NewEditIndex).Cells(10).Text & "~\/~" 
                Response.Redirect("WorkEdit.aspx")
End Sub

GRIDVIEW Page

Protected Sub btnSubmit_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSubmit.Click
    Dim strPost As Boolean = HiddenSearch.Value
    If strPost = True Then
        Dim strNumber As String
        Dim Dropdown As String
        strNumber = Search_text.Text
        Dropdown = Search_Field.SelectedValue
        If Dropdown = "WO#" Then
            Convert.ToInt32(strNumber)
        End If
        Try
            SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "SELECT * FROM [WorkOrderLog] WHERE " + Dropdown + " = '" + strNumber + "' ORDER BY [WO#] DESC"
            SqlDataSource1.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty)
            SqlDataSource1.DataBind()
            GridView1.DataBind()
        Catch
            'output messagebox for debug
            Dim strPrompt As String
            strPrompt = "Something bad happened, check search text and try again."
            Dim strScript As String = "<script language=JavaScript>"
            strScript += "alert(' " & strPrompt & "');"
            strScript += "</script>"
            Search_text.Focus()
        End Try
    Else
        Search_text.Focus()
    End If


End Sub

            End If
            If sessionArray(8) = "1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM" Or sessionArray(8) = "&nbsp;" Then

I realize not all of the code is pasted in here, because it would take too much space. Any Ideas? I’m guessing it has something to do with e.NewEditIndex

The solution to the problem was wrapping the pageload in a if, ispostback statement. Thank you for your help rkw.

   Protected Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
    If IsPostBack Then
        If Search_text.Text = "" Then
            SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "SELECT * FROM [WorkOrderLog] ORDER BY [WO#] DESC"
            SqlDataSource1.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty)
            SqlDataSource1.DataBind()
            GridView1.DataBind()
        Else
        End If
    End If
        If Not IsPostBack Then
            SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = "SELECT * FROM [WorkOrderLog] ORDER BY [WO#] DESC"
            SqlDataSource1.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty)
            SqlDataSource1.DataBind()
            GridView1.DataBind()
        End If
End Sub
