So I’ve created a gridview, and paging/sorting handlers which I learned from guides and adapted to accomodate my two gridviews :
paging
protected void GridView_PageIndexChanging(object sender, GridViewPageEventArgs e)
{
((GridView)sender).PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex; // updatepanel allows this to happen without refreshing
}
sorting
protected void GridView_Sort(object sender, GridViewSortEventArgs e)
{
string sortdir;
ViewState["SortExpression"] = e.SortExpression;
if (GridViewSortDirection.ToString() == "Ascending")
{
sortdir = "ASC";
GridViewSortDirection = SortDirection.Descending;
}
else
{
sortdir = "DESC";
GridViewSortDirection = SortDirection.Ascending;
}
var expression = e.SortExpression;
var gv = sender as GridView;
DataView gridv = ((DataSet)gv.DataSource).Tables[0].DefaultView; // get GridView datasource as a DataView as it is easier to sort
gridv.Sort = expression + " " + sortdir; // strict formatted string here; e.g: Subject ASC
gv.DataSource = gridv;
gv.DataBind();
}
}
I got this all working fine a while ago, but revisiting the project now, I’m finding that changing pages requires two clicks on the page number link rather than one, and after one page change it would stop responding to clicks.
The gridviews themselves are populating with the right data and displaying. Any suggestions on where to look if you can’t quite tell what is wrong would be great.
Also I got breakpoints setup to watch if the eventhandlers are being called, and they do.

EDIT : I can see that the DataSets are nulled by the time they get to the sort/paging handlers, but I don’t have anything explicitly reinitializing them or nulling them.
You wrote:

The dataset is not persisted by the grid in viewstate or anything, you need to rebind everytime you call sort or page. Give that a try and see if it fixes the issue.
