I have programatically created a DataSet (mdsShippers) that consists of a  single DataTable - the Shippers table from Northwind. I have then added a  FormView control to my WebForm and then two text-boxes in the ItemTemplate  (txShipperID and txtCompanyName).  In order to get the FormView to display  and page through the records properly I have written the sode shown  below.  However, I have arrived at it through experimentation without  really knowing what I am doing.  My question is, am I doing what I am  doing right ?


   Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As  System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

     If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
       bdl_LoadShips() ' Creates DataSet and populates DataTable
     Else
       Me.mdsShippers = Session("Shippers")
     End If

     With Me.fvShippers
       .DataSource = Me.mdsShippers.Tables("dtShippersLIST")
       .DataBind()
     End With

   End Sub

   Protected Sub fvShippers_PageIndexChanging(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal  e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.FormViewPageEventArgs) Handles  fvShippers.PageIndexChanging

     Me.fvShippers.PageIndex = e.NewPageIndex
     Me.fvShippers.DataBind()

   End Sub

   Protected Sub Page_Unload(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As  System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Unload

     Session("Shippers") = Me.mdsShippers

   End Sub
