one way is using templateitems. Thanks

I am giving code below. This used asp.net 2.0 DataTable dtData = new DataTable(); dtData.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("symbol",typeof(string))); dtData.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("matchPrice",typeof(string))); dtData.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("matchTime",typeof(string))); XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings(); settings.IgnoreWhitespace = true; settings.IgnoreComments = true; string xmlFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(Request.PhysicalApplicationPath, "test.xml"); using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(xmlFile, settings)) { while (reader.Read()) { if (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element && reader.LocalName == "stock") { DataRow row = dtData.NewRow(); row["symbol"] = reader.GetAttribute("symbol"); reader.ReadToFollowing("matchPrice"); row["matchPrice"] = reader.ReadElementContentAsString("matchPrice",""); reader.Read(); row["matchTime"] = reader.Value; dtData.Rows.Add(row); } } } GridView1.DataSource = dtData; GridView1.DataBind(); Thanks

did you check for !Page.IsPostBack in page_load function when you load default value. otherwise control gets initialized to default value always. Thanks

Is it template item? otherwise look Cell values of gridview row in debug mode.you can identify the problem. Thanks

Did you add reference to system.web.services dll. Thanks, Siva

when user clicks button to load data you can save datasource in session like below. Session["GridData"] = ds in page_load function of page1 you have to write code like below. if(Session["GridData"] != null && Request.UrlReferrer.ToString() == "Page2") { DataGrid1.DataSource = (DataSet) Session["GridData"]; DataGrid1.DataBind(); } Thanks

by default enablesessionstate is true. Incase it is false,you can enable sessionstate at page level by setting enablesessionstate of page directive to true. Thanks

Quickest way is to store contents of datagrid in session. if calling page is page2 then populate grid from session. Thanks
