Hi PageIndex is basically used for paging purpose. When the paging feature is enabled (by setting the AllowPaging property to true) use the PageIndex property to determine the index of the currently displayed page. You can also use this property to programmatically change the displayed page. Regards Iftikar

From the name of it (PageIndex) it makes me think there must be a grid involved somewhere. However I am not at all certain why page index would be pushed into application state due to the nature of it (HttpApplicationState).
