Search btn with paging in grid view

I have created gridview with paging and search a data within gridview.I have number of data and number of page if u filter data in gridview it successfully display result with paging. After display i will click on next page because gridview will display only 10 records per page but i have more than 10 records which i have filtered so it will display page wise. Then when i click next page gridview will loads whole data from database and display but i want display only filtered record while searching data.
the aspx code is below
<asp:Button ID="Search" Text="Search" runat="server" CssClass="searchbtn" OnClick="Search_Click" />

I have changed code in gvEdit_PageIndexChanging as per someone suggestion code is below
protected void gvEdit_PageIndexChanging(object sender, GridViewPageEventArgs e)
{
try
{
if (ViewState["filter"] != null)
{
gvEdit.PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex;
gvEdit.DataSource = ViewState["filter"];
gvEdit.DataBind();
}
else
{
gvEdit.PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex;
LoadFormList();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
string a = ex.Message;
}
}
after that i run the code and i am getting error
error is System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: Type 'System.Data.DataView' in Assembly 'System.Data, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' is not marked as serializable.

According to your question I try to give an answer. If you find my answer useful then mark is as answer or vote it up.
What I have done in below code is when user click on search button without input any student name it shows per page 10 records of all students and if you search by name it shows only specific students with paging. In below code I use a stored procedure and in that I put three parameters such as following:
#startRowIndex int
#pageSize int
#studentname varchar(50) = NULL

And here's the fetchdata code
public DataTable Fetchdata(string strSQL)
{
SqlDataAdapter DAdpt = new SqlDataAdapter();
DataSet DSet = new DataSet();
try
{
if (Conn.State == ConnectionState.Closed)
Conn.Open();
DAdpt = new SqlDataAdapter(strSQL, Conn);
DAdpt.Fill(DSet);
return DSet.Tables[0];
}
catch (Exception Ex)
{
return null;
throw new Exception(Ex.Message);
}
finally
{
DAdpt.Dispose();
DSet.Dispose();
Conn.Close();
}
}

Must be some problem with find control code. Try the one I have using in the code given below :
protected void GrdPDataEdit_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
//Replace your find corntrol code with this
DropDownList drpnop = (DropDownList)e.Row.FindControl("dropdownnop");
if (drpnop != null)
{
drpnop.DataSource = obj6.Fetchdata("SELECT * from Compliance_Tracker.dbo.paymentNatureMaster where STATUS='1';");
drpnop.DataTextField = "DESC";
drpnop.DataValueField = "DESC";
drpnop.DataBind();
}
}
}

You can't directly access the DropDownList inside of the GridView while the gridview is being generated. What you'll have to do is to use the GridView OnRowCreated event and populate the dropdown that way. I don't have any sample code handy, but there are a ton of references on the internet.
Most of your code is usable, but you'll need to move a few things around.
Basically you'll need to create an event for OnRowCreated and then - this is the key part - use the FindControl method to find the DropDownList and finally insert the items into the DDL.
Clarification: I thought your code in the OnLoad was trying to populate the DDL and I didn't see the code box scrolled down. Looks like your code is solid, I think you just need to switch from OnRowBinding to OnRowCreated

dropdownlist name has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items

What I want to achieve is when I click on edit, the Blogtype field in the gridview will be changed to dropdownlist. And Since my database have 3 data in the blogtype which is community work, competition and overseas experience. The dropdownlist will be allows me to select either of these three. After choosing either of this one, and I clicked update, it will be updated in the database. How to do it as I have error in the 3rd screenshot.The name of my dropdownlist for blogtype field is ddlBlogType. help
But for my current code, after clicking edit, it will come out this error. 'ddlBlogType' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items.

}

I see the issue as the way you populate the DropDownList. The code isn't shown in your post, so assuming you don't have anything to that effect.
So you normally set the desired gridviewrow in edit mode as below:
protected void grdBlog_RowEditing(object sender, GridViewEditEventArgs e)
{
grdBlog.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex;
bindResultGridView();
}
Now we need to figure when exactly to bind the dropdownlist. Therefore when the particular datarow (which is in edit mode) is getting databound we have a chance to obtain the reference to the corresponding edit row's dropdownlist. Hence for this you can refer this post.
In summary you need to handle the DataBound event of the gridview and determine from its rowstate what mode it is in. Sharing the code sample from linked post below:
protected void gv_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewEditEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
if ((e.Row.RowState & DataControlRowState.Edit) > 0)
{
DropDownList ddList= (DropDownList)e.Row.FindControl("DStatusEdit");
//bind dropdownlist
DataTable dt = con.GetData("select distinct status from directory");
ddList.DataSource = dt;
ddList.DataTextField = "YourCOLName";
ddList.DataValueField = "YourCOLName";
ddList.DataBind();
DataRowView dr = e.Row.DataItem as DataRowView;
//ddList.SelectedItem.Text = dr["YourCOLName"].ToString();
ddList.SelectedValue = dr["YourCOLName"].ToString();
}
}
}

textboxes gets cleared while saving

I have a gridview in the popup, with 3 columns, out of which 2 are textbox column. I have added the textbox dynamically in the row data bound event. when data is entered and save button is clicked,the textboxes gets cleared and the empty values are saved. can any one one help me on this. thanks in advance
code here:
for (int r = 0; r < GridView2.Rows.Count; r++)
{
string sub_details = "";
string remarks = "";
GridViewRow gRow1 = GridView2.Rows[r];
// TextBox tb = (TextBox)gRow.Cells[2].FindControl("txt");
TextBox tb1 = (TextBox)gRow1.Cells[1].FindControl("txt1");
TextBox tb2 = (TextBox)gRow1.Cells[2].FindControl("txt2");
if (tb1 != null)
{
sub_details = tb1.Text;
TextBox1.Text = sub_details;
}
if (tb2 != null)
{
remarks= tb2.Text;
}
OdbcConnection DbConnection1 = new OdbcConnection(con1);
OdbcCommand DbCommand1 = DbConnection1.CreateCommand();
try
{
DbConnection1.Open();
DbCommand1.CommandText = "insert into tbl_campboss_report(site,tdate,entered_by,entered_time,details,camp_boss,sub_details,remarks)values('" + drpSites.SelectedItem.Text + "','" + txtDate.Text + "','" + Session["uname"].ToString() + "'," + ss + ",'" + lstDetails.SelectedItem.Text + "','" + txtCampBoss.Text + "','" + sub_details + "','" + remarks + "')";
int t1 = DbCommand1.ExecuteNonQuery();
if (t1 == 1)
{
DbConnection1.Close();
}
}
catch (Exception ee)
{
DbConnection1.Close();
}
}

You can achieve this task easily by placing your textboxes inside
template fields in your footer row with a save button. There you
can save these values to the database row by row.
Using CellIndex could fail if you add a column later to your gridview.
Your database code is prone to SQL injection, I advise you to use paramterized queries
Check below example

Textbox In gridview not saving its value in table

dt.Rows[dt.Rows.Count - 1]["ProductNo"] = (gvRow.FindControl("Label2") as Label).Text;
dt.Rows[dt.Rows.Count - 1]["Product_name"] = (gvRow.FindControl("Label3") as Label).Text;
dt.Rows[dt.Rows.Count - 1]["SupplierId"] = (gvRow.FindControl("Label5") as Label).Text;
dt.Rows[dt.Rows.Count - 1]["Quantity"] = 0;
dt.AcceptChanges();
}
return dt;
}
protected void CheckBox_CheckChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}
And here is the submit button!

newOrder.UserName = User.Identity.Name;
newOrder.Order_date = DateTime.Now;

TextBox txt1 = (TextBox)gvSelected.FindControl("TextBox1");
od.OrderId = newOrder.OrderId;
od.ProductId = Convert.ToInt32(row.Cells[0].Text);
od.Product_name = (row.FindControl("Label3") as Label).Text;
od.ProductNo = (row.FindControl("Label2") as Label).Text;
od.Quantity = Convert.ToInt32(txt1.text);

}
}
Bohemian.SaveChanges();

lblSuccess.Font.Bold = true;
}

I assume that you are assigning the DataSource and DataBind the GridView on every postback. That will overwite all changes.
So wrap your code in a !IsPostBack check:
protected void Page_Load()
{
if(!IsPostBack)
{
BindSecondaryGrid();
}
}
By the way, you should not store the DataTable in ViewState since that will blow it up.
