Datalist paging in asp.net?

Question

In asp.net Web application, i write code for datalist paging like this :

PagDat = new PagedDataSource();
PagDat.AllowPaging = true;
PagDat.PageSize = 10;
PagDat.CurrentPageIndex = **currentpage**;
PagDat.DataSource = ds.Tables[0].DefaultView;
dtlstMagazine.DataSource = PagDat;
dtlstMagazine.DataBind();

In this "currentpage" is a integer varaible which i declared as a static. I think it could be conflict when more user access this page am i right?

Yes your are right.

You should Save your PageDataSouce page index in State Management object . using static variable is not a good approach in web application for such page level operations.

Create CurrentPage property :

public int CurrentPage
{
   get
   {
      // look for current page in ViewState
      object o = this.ViewState["_CurrentPage"];
      if (o == null)
         return 0; // default page index of 0
      else
         return (int) o;
   }

   set
   {
      this.ViewState["_CurrentPage"] = value;
   }
}
