I have a repeater that displays data from database, each item has a checkbox that are used to "mark" items for deletion and etc. (there is no item in database for chekbox!).
Because I use pagination (on data access and presentation levels), there is no way to preserve checkboxes values between page movements.
How can I solve this issue?
The way I've solved this in the past is to have a handler on the checkbox that does some AJAX back to the server to store the state of that checkbox when it is toggled. This information gets stored in the user's session. During paging, I check the state for each checkbox and set it appropriately as the page is rendered. Any actions that depend on the state of the checkbox use the information from the session. Once the action is completed, I remove the state from the session. You'll also have to figure out how you want to handle this with respect to page navigation as well.
