can't set page index on form view - has mind of it's own!!

[sharc]

I'm trying to iterate through a formview and set the pageindex to the page that the record is found on, but the pageindex refuses to let itself be set. . . looking at the debugger it sets to the correct thing, and then resets back to the number it originally was before going into the loop. .. my code:

Protected Sub getNavPage(ByVal participantID As String)

Dim x As Integer
fvRecruitment.PageIndex = 0
fvRecruitment.DataBind()
Dim iCurIndex As Integer = 0
For x = 0 To Me.fvRecruitment.PageCount - 1
fvRecruitment.PageIndex = iCurIndex + x
fvRecruitment.DataBind()
Dim userName As String = DirectCast(Me.fvRecruitment.FindControl("ParticipantIDTextBox"), TextBox).Text
userName = userName.Trim
If userName = participantID Then Exit For
Next
Session("PID") = Me.fvRecruitment.PageIndex


can anyone see where I'm going wrong?

Try this:

        Dim pagecounter As Integer = 0
        For i As Integer = 0 To fvRecruitment.PageCount - 1
            ' more code here .... 
            pagecounter += 1
            If UserName = ParticipantID Then
                Exit For
            End If
        Next
        fvRecruitment.PageIndex = pagecounter
        Session("PID") = pagecounter.ToString
