Hi,

i am developing a search page, basically using datagrid.
i have given a column as hyperlink so that when the user clicks on it, it
gives the details of the selected item in a seperate page.

But i want to add a feature so that it saves the search results. for example
even after seeing an item the user should be able to still view the search
results so that he may view another item.

i am finding it hard to develop such an application. so i am looking forward
for some ideas and if possible some examples so that i get a fair idea as
how to implemet it.
any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

thanks,

Hi Sriram,

I think the easiest method would be to set up the links in your DataGrid so
they open in a new window. That way, when the user clicks on a search
result, they will see it in a new browser window, keeping the original
window with the search results unchanged.

Good luck!
 
Sriram,

Another choice, if your links are for data on your own site, would be to
display the link item in a user control and place that control above or
below the original search.

That way the search results would still be available to the user. I'm doing
something similar with my code library. I have a datagrid of each of the
entries which displays five entry titles at a time. When a user clicks the
link for one of the entries the entry is displayed below the grid. Keeping
the datagrid limited to five entries keeps the entry display above the fold
so the user sees it immediately.

Sincerely,
