I don't know, but would something like setting DataKey work?

>Does anyone here know how to position a formview to a specific record? I have the following code:
>

>    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
>        Dim i As Int32
>        Dim CurrentRecord As Integer = Session("CurrentPerson")
>
>        If Not IsPostBack() And CurrentRecord > 0 Then
>            FormView1.DataBind()
>
>            ' Go to the record we want
>            For i = 0 To FormView1.DataItemCount - 1
>                FormView1.PageIndex = i
>
>                If FormView1.DataItem("personID") = CurrentRecord Then
>                    Exit For
>                End If
>            Next
>        End If
>           End Sub

>which works when placed in the Formview prerender (but it takes forever) and does not work in the PageLoad. This seems like it should be a trivial task but I just can't seem to get it. Any help appreciated.
