I have a basic gridview with paging enabled. I have 11 rows in my database and the gridview's page size is 10. When I come to the page, it shows 10 rows, and in my pager, it shows me on page one with a link to a second page. When I click on the second page, it refreshes the page and goes to page 2 and displays the 11th, lonely row.
When I put an update panel around it, however, it drops the last row. When I come to the page, it shows the same as without the update panel. It shows 10 rows with page 1 and 2 on the pager. When I click on page 2, however, it does it's ajax thing, but doesn't display the last record on the 2nd page. Then, if I go from page 2 back to page 1, it only displays 9 rows instead of the 10 it used to display.
For some reason, when I have an update panel around my gridview, after you page once, it never displays the last row. I have tried all the different combinations of RenderMode, ChildrenAsTriggers and UpdateMode to no avail. I also have a form on the page that allows you to add new rows to the database, and consequently the gridview as well as an edit and delete link inside the gridview, all within the update panel. When I add a new row via the form or edit/delete, this doesn't happen...it only happens when I page.
Any ideas why the gridview won't display the last record/row after I page only when it's inside an update panel?
Here is the code...
