Hello Andrew,
I am not sure if I understand the question correctly. Did you mean "the
page is loaded for the first time (not PostBack)" by "when not IsPostBack"?
Can I understand the question as: How to change the EditIndex property to
the last row in the GridView when the page is loaded for the first time,
without binding to the data source twice?
If my understanding is correct, we can accomplish it in this way:
In the Page_Load event handler, we add the code:
if (!IsPostBack)
{
BindGridView()
}
In the implementation of BindGridView(): (note my comments)
void BindGridView()
{
DataTable dt = GetDataTable(); // get the data source for the gridview as a
DataTable object
GridView1.DataSource = dt; // bind the data source to the gridview
int lastRowIndex = dt.Rows.Count - 1; // I suppose that no paging on the
gridview. If there is paging, we need to adjust the lastRowIndex value
accordingly.
GridView1.EditIndex = lastRowIndex; // set the edit index.
GridView1.DataBind(); // bind data
}
In this way, the edit index can be set in one data binding procedure when
the page is loaded (with no IsPostBack)
Please have a try and let me know if it works for you.
If you have any other concerns or need anything else, please feel free to
let me know.
