keeping a variable value

ok i have a datagrid which only displays top updates.

when i click a linkbutton i want to expand this dg (or at least make the user think its expanding.

i have a boolen so if link is clicked it goes to fals and a different sql statement is used, but... after the data is bound its always false. ive debugged and there is nothing setting it to false, and even when i set the boolean to true, if i try to bind the data ts false.

my goal is for this boolean to keep its value through the post back

i dont know if i was very clear.

any questions?

I assume this is a web app so maybe store the value in a session

yes sorry i didnt specify


can you give an example?

In the page load, add a new viewstate variable. In the link's postback event, I assume there is one from your description, set ViewState["ishidden"] = false (for example).

Whenever you need to read it, read from ViewState["ishidden"]
