Working in Visual Studio 2008 and using the packaged Cystal Reports (version 10.5). I have a couple pages that use the Crystal Reports Viewer to display the reports, and I use the CRV navigation buttons to page through large reports.

Problem: The Next button only goes to page 2. The Previous button goes to Page 1 every time.

I've read that this is because the binding of the report occurs in the Page_Load() and the CRV paging resets every time the report is rebinded. It was suggested to move this into Page_Init() which should only fire once, save the report in Session state, and then rebind on post backs. I've tried this, but my code never seems to reach the Page_Init(). In fact, I don't even see Page_Init() as an option. I've tried protected override OnInit(), but it fires every post back so that's no good.

Does anyone have suggestions for a solution?

Where is Page_Init() in Visual Studio 2008?

 Thanks for any help.

OK, I found the Page_Init() issue...I manually add the event, but I forgot to wire it up in the InitializeCompnent() with this.Init += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Init).

Now I'll see if I can get the nav buttons working by moving the report binding into there....

OK, it took some fiddling, but moving the code to Page_Init() seems to work. Now I can navigate correctly.

To recap, I was getting my dataset, binding it to the report, and binding the report to the viewer, all in Page_Load. I moved that to Page_Init() and the viewer's navigation buttons work (Next and Previous specifically).

Hope it helps someone.
