Hi. This post has been very helpful in a search portion of a page I am working on (needs a dynamic search of 11 controls). I have my search working so far (2 down…9 to go?!) but I have paging enabled (using it to load in a GridView control) and when you click on the Column Headers it goes to the default design time set of records (not good) rather than persisting my where and whereparameter properties I set in my code behind. Anyone know how to persist these? Is there simply a method on the LinqDataSource I need to call?…again great post!

Thanks for your post. Helped me get to a solution. Here’s my post.

Another option instead of doing it in the code behind:

Just update the where line for the LinqDatasource in design.
Where=”BlogID == Guid(@BlogID)”>

I was just playing around with this to get the windows authenticated user and filtering a grid display for entries by that user. I was trying to figure out the asp, but I’m not that great with asp. The next thought was to save it in the session and do that, but I happened across this and wahoo! Thank you.
I like C#. Works great!
Next thing I’ll need to try is to have a dropdown list and let the user select a different LoginName. For those people that have seen their stuff, now they want to look at somebody elses. So, I’ll need to find that where param and change the default value.
whereparam.DefaultValue = new value
and probably databind.

thanks… good stuff.
