Transfer GridView from one page to another with PreviousPage find method using C# in ASP.Net

Here's my code:

Page1 Aspx

                                </table> 

                     </asp:Panel> 

With the above code i will like Gridview1 data in page1 to sit or replace Gridview1 in page2 Panel1 without Panel1 in page2 moving from its original position.

Hi jamess,

Check the below code.

HTML

Default.aspx

<div>
    <asp:Panel ID="Panel1" BorderWidth="0" runat="server" ScrollBars="Horizontal" CssClass="modalPopup"
        Width="1050" Wrap="true">
        <table style="width: 813px; float: left;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
            <tr>
                <td>
                    <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" RowStyle-Wrap="true" EmptyDataText="No records has been added."
                        ShowFooter="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" Width="500px" Font-Size="9pt" GridLines="None">
                        <Columns>
                            <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="SrNo">
                                <ItemTemplate>
                                    <%# Container.DataItemIndex + 1 %>

                            <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="QUANTITY">
                                <ItemTemplate>

                                    <asp:TextBox ID="txtQty2" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" Text='<%# Eval("QTYOrdered")%>'
                                        Width="50px"></asp:TextBox>
                                </EditItemTemplate>
                                <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" Width="20px" Wrap="true" />
                            </asp:TemplateField>
                            <asp:TemplateField>
                                <FooterStyle HorizontalAlign="Right" />
                                <FooterTemplate>
                                </FooterTemplate>
                            </asp:TemplateField>
                        </Columns>
                        <FooterStyle BackColor="#dadfff" />
                    </asp:GridView>
                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </asp:Panel>
    <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" PostBackUrl="Default2.aspx" Text="Button" />
</div>

Code

Default.aspx

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!this.IsPostBack)
    {
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        dt.Columns.AddRange(new DataColumn[] { new DataColumn("QTYOrdered", typeof(int)), new DataColumn("ItemName") });
        dt.Rows.Add(5, "Food Fun");
        dt.Rows.Add(1, "McGrill Chic");
        dt.Rows.Add(4, "Mc Aloo Tikki");
        GridView1.DataSource = dt;
        GridView1.DataBind();
    }
}

HTML

Default2.aspx

<div>
</div>

Code

Default2.aspx

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (PreviousPage != null && PreviousPage.IsCrossPagePostBack)
    {
        GridView gview = (GridView)Page.PreviousPage.FindControl("GridView1");
        form1.Controls.Add(gview);
    }
}

Screenshot

form1.Controls.Add(gview);

What is the function of Form1 in the above line of code? I get error when i use Form1.

I use Form instead of Form1 and it displays the Gridview1 on page2 outside Panel1. How do i make it stay inside Panel1 of page2?

NB: I'm using Masterpage

jamess says:

form1.Controls.Add(gview);

instead of form1 use Panel1 like below. Where form1 is the id of html Form and Panel1 is the id of Panel control.

this.Panel1.Controls.Add(gview);

It worked. thank you so much.
